Oklahoma football is getting hit hard early during its fall camp.
The Sooners were going through a quarterback competition between Tanner Mordecai and presumed starter Spencer Rattler. The competition may have just gotten easier to figure out for unfortunate reasons.
According to a report from SoonerScoop.com, Mordecai suffered an injury during practice that won’t require surgery, but he will miss time.

Lincoln Riley has maintained that Mordecai is in the thick of this quarterback race, but missing time to the heavy favorite is not good for his potential of that.
The Waco, Texas, native came to Oklahoma in the 2018 recruiting class. He was a four-star prospect and one of the best players in Texas.
Austin Kendall was the last quarterback in the position of Mordecai. He transferred to West Virginia after losing the competition to Kyler Murray in 2018 and after Jalen Hurts arrived on campus.
Behind Mordecai is redshirt senior Tanner Schafer and true freshman Chandler Morris.
