Tulane battles injuries as Wave prepares for No. 2 Oklahoma

Tulane was without two key contributors Tuesday as both starting quarterback Jonathan Banks and strong safety Roderic Teamer missed practice due to injuries.

Banks, who left Saturday's Navy game in the second quarter, is nursing a midsection injury after falling awkwardly on the ball at the end of a six-yard run. Teamer, who had a 52-yard fumble return for a touchdown against Navy, is nursing a sore foot.

Tulane coach Willie Fritz said he's hopeful both will be able to play against No. 2 Oklahoma, although a final determination will be made later in the week.

Banks' injury opens the door for sophomore Johnathan Brantley.
