JALIL FAROOQ NEWS

Still rehabbing Farooq (foot) is still working his way back from a fractured foot he suffered in spring camp, Tom Green of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Farooq reportedly didn't require surgery, but Oklahoma appears to still be slow-playing his recovery. "Again, those feet are very funky when it comes to injuries and the healing process, because those bones a lot of times don't get the blood flow that helps the healing process. We'll take things easy, if you will, with Jalil," head coach Brent Venables said. The Sooners reportedly sound optimistic about the receiver's ability to contribute come fall, but he's still in the process of rehabbing ahead of fall camp.

Five targets in win over UCF Farooq posted three catches (on five targets) for 23 yards during Saturday's 31-29 victory versus UCF. He also recorded three rushing attempts for 16 yards.

Impact Farooq has at least five targets in each of his last five games. Unfortunately for fantasy rosters he has just one touchdown over that span. That type of volume suggests that regression is coming and that he should have more scoring opportunities in the near future. It could happen as soon as next week at Kansas as that game projects to have plenty of scoring.
