DEION BURKS NEWS

Looks out for bowl gagme Burks (concussion) appears to be out for Oklahoma's bowl game Friday against the Navy, Jesse Crittenden of Rivals reports.

Impact Burks is not suited up during pregame warmups, a sign he will not participate in Oklahoma's upcoming bowl game. He was probable for a bit and one of the 2024 Sooners' more reliable wideouts in terms of game availability, so Crittenden's announcement is a rough one for an OU team that has already dealt with so many injury problems this year.

Impact Burks missed eight of the last nine games of the season due an undisclosed injury and a concussion. By the time the bowl game comes around it will be over six weeks since he was diagnosed with a concussion, so it's not that surprising that he seems to have a good chance to suit up. He was very productive in his five games this season as he caught 31 passes for 245 yards and three touchdowns.

Impact Burks hasn't appeared in a game since Week 4, but it seems the junior wideout is on the cusp of returning to action. The junior was a big fixture in the offense prior to the injury, racking up 26 catches for 201 yards and three touchdowns through the first four games, so his return would certainly be a welcome sight for a Sooners wide receiver room that has been barren recently due to injuries.

Impact Burks, who is a game-time decision, isn't a starter for the Sooners this week. It's looking more and more likely that the wideout won't play, as he wasn't running routes with receivers in warmups and was spotted with the injured players pre-game.
