Sounds like Lincoln Riley may be getting his favorite toy back.
After missing out on Oklahoma’s historic come-from-behind-win over Baylor, star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will be “back” for the Sooners tonight versus TCU, according to ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit on College GameDay. Riley said earlier in the week that Lamb’s status was ‘up in the air’.

The junior receiver was held out of last Saturday’s game with an undisclosed injury. Lamb did suit up and go through warm-ups in full pads and helmet. However, once game time rolled around, he was without his helmet and changed into street clothes at halftime.
As Jalen Hurts favorite target this season, Lamb is Oklahoma’s leading receiver with 44 catches for 983 yards and 13 touchdowns. Even with limited production tonight, he should eclipse 1,000 yards for the season.
Without Lamb, multiple wide receivers stepped up against Baylor, including true freshman Jadon Haselwood and Theo Wease, as well as true freshman tight end Austin Stogner.
Lamb was named to the Biletnikoff semifinal list earlier this week.
Oklahoma and TCU will kickoff at 7 p.m. CT on FOX.
