It appears OU football will be without its right tackle vs Ole Miss. Derek Simmons was downgraded to doubtful on Thursday's SEC availability report.

Wednesday saw the release of the first edition of the injury report for the seven games this weekend in the Southeastern Conference, with a dozen players originally noted by Ole Miss and OU. The league has since updated each of those as of this evening on Thursday, with another to come tomorrow on Friday.

It’s a classic matchup of a dynamic offense against a stout defense Saturday in Norman, OK when the No. 8 Rebels of Ole Miss (6-1, 3-1) take on the No. 13 Sooners (6-1, 2-1).

OU football players Jovantae Barnes, Logan Howland, Derek Simmons and Gentry Williams were all listed as questionable for Saturday's game vs. Ole Miss.

Ole Miss' offense is more complete than any of the Sooners' first seven opponents of 2025, and OU's defense will have to be at its best on Saturday.

NORMAN — Ahead of OU football's first home game since Keontez Lewis' scary collision with a brick wall against Kent State on Oct. 4, the program is adding padding.
