It appears one of Oklahoma’s rising young defensive lineman will return to the field this week.
Redshirt freshman Jalen Redmond did not make the trip to Stillwater, Oklahoma, last week for Bedlam due to ‘medical reasons’, head coach Lincoln Riley said at his weekly press conference Monday.
Riley said the issue did not pertain to the blood clots Redmond suffered his freshman season.
Ahead of the Big 12 Championship game against No. 7 Baylor, Redmond is going though warmups and appears to be ready to play today.

The Midwest City, Oklahoma, native made a start against TCU on Nov. 23 before sitting out last week against Oklahoma State. Redmond has recorded 16 tackles on the season, which includes seven tackles for loss and four sacks.
LaRon Stokes, the Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year, started once again in Redmond’s absence against Oklahoma State.
Oklahoma and Baylor will kickoff the Big 12 Championship at 11 a.m. CT from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
