The Oklahoma Sooners continue to have injury issues in the secondary. Woodi Washington will miss his second straight game. As the Sooners get warmed up for tonight’s matchup with the West Virginia Mountaineers, injury news is coming out.
According to several reports from Owen Field, first, from Jason Kersey of The Athletic, it looks like Jeremiah Criddell will be out of action tonight against West Virginia.

And though that’s a huge loss for the Sooners secondary, they’ll get some good news as Billy Bowman is back and ready to roll.

Criddell and Bowman have been the two primary players for the Oklahoma Sooners at slot cornerback. Getting some consistency in the secondary will be huge for the Sooners at some point this season and though they’ll miss Criddell, Bowman’s presence will help a secondary that has struggled with injuries.
Jaden Davis and D.J. Graham will start on the outside with Bowman and Justin Broiles taking over the majority of the snaps.
