The Oklahoma Sooners have been dealing with a string of injuries during the 2024 season, particularly on the offensive side of the football. However, they may be getting some relief with the potential return of key offensive lineman Michael Tarquin for their upcoming game against Alabama.
In the latest injury report, several players, including Jayden Gibson, Gentry Williams, and Geirean Hatchett, are listed as out for the Sooners. However, there is hope that players like Deion Burks and Jovantae Barnes, who are questionable, could potentially make a return this week after being sidelined with injuries.
Michael Tarquin, who missed the last two games, is expected to be back in action this week. The main question now is which tackle position he will take over. Deion Burks, who suffered a concussion, is still unavailable, while Jovantae Barnes, who sprained his ankle, has had time to rest and could potentially return to boost the team’s offense.
Running back Gavin Sawchuk was not on the injury report for the last game but did not play, leaving uncertainty about his availability for the Alabama game. Center Joshua Bates also missed the last game with an undisclosed injury, adding to the injury concerns for the Sooners.
With a crucial game against Alabama approaching, the Sooners are hoping for positive news on the injury front to bolster their chances of success.
