The Oklahoma Sooners health struggles in the secondary will continue tonight vs. the TCU Horned Frogs. With Woodi Washington already out of action, the Sooners will be missing safety Delarrin Turner-Yell for the second time in the last three weeks.
Delarrin Turner-Yell (hamstring) will not play tonight for the #Sooners.

Turner-Yell, who typically leads the Sooners’ defense in snaps along with Pat Fields, has been dealing with a hamstring injury since the Kansas State game when a Wildcats receiver accidentally stepped on the Oklahoma defensive leader.
This likely means more snaps for Justin Broiles and Key Lawrence as the Oklahoma Sooners look to slow down a big-time rushing attack of the TCU Horned Frogs.
As we inch closer to game time, Oklahoma looks to keep pace with the undefeated Oklahoma State Cowboys who knocked off the Texas Longhorns in Austin earlier today.
Turner-Yell is a huge loss to a defense looking to start faster than they did a week ago against the Longhorns in the the Red River Showdown.
As we await word or any indication from the team about who will be starting at quarterback tonight against the Horned Frogs, the Sooners’ defense will be without one of their leaders in the secondary.
