Coach Bob Stoops and his Oklahoma team have been hit by the injury bug once again, this time losing a pass catcher instead of a pass thrower.
Stoops announced Monday in his weekly teleconference that sophomore receiver Ryan Broyles would miss two to four weeks with a small fracture in his left shoulder blade. Broyles has 23 catches for 346 yards and seven touchdowns, leading the team in each category.
Oklahoma takes on Baylor at home this weekend, and comes to Lawrence in a little more than two and a half weeks.
Junior quarterback Sam Bradford’s status is unchanged from last week. Stoops said he would evaluate Bradford during practice this week and make the decision.
“I’m not getting into how close or far he was,” Stoops said. “The bottom line, he wasn’t where he needed to be.”
Despite being hit hard by injuries, Stoops said his team had hung in there really well. He said he thought his team could be similar to the one that won the Big 12 championship despite losing Adrian Peterson and moving wide receiver Paul Thompson to starting quarterback.
“In the end, you deal with the circumstances and the hand you’re dealt, and they understand that,” Stoops said. “We won’t make excuses and other guys have to step in and step up and make plays.”
