Nic Anderson - Slated to return soon Anderson (undisclosed) will return "sooner rather than later," Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables said per Colton Sulley of The Oklahoman.

Impact Anderson wasn't available for Oklahoma's Week 1 clash with Temple. The receiver has battled through an injury all offseason and it's carried over into the regular season. However, this is excellent news for the one of the Sooners' top wideouts and Oklahoma's offense as a whole. Anderson's timeline is still unclear, but based on Venables' comments, his return is imminent.

Jaquaize Pettaway - Expected to play big role Pettaway is expected to play a big role during the remainder of Oklahoma's 2024 season, Colton Sulley of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Oklahoma's head coach Brent Venables cited a lot of Oklahoma's receiver corps being injured as his reasoning for Pettaway's promotion. At least three players are out injured, giving room for someone to step up, and that might as well be Pettaway, who can significantly improve from his 2023 season of 11 receptions for 70 yards.
