Stoops said he is unsure when Williams will be able to return to the field but will likely miss the remainder of the regular season. Williams could be back in time for bowl season.

The sprain occurred on Oklahoma’s seventh play of the game when quarterback Landry Jones handed the ball off to Damien Williams. During the run, Daryl Williams’ leg looked like it got caught from behind and curled. Daryl Williams was then replaced by Tyrus Thompson – the back-up left tackle.

The loss is Oklahoma’s fourth offensive line loss of the season including Ben Habern (neck), Tyler Evans (ACL tear) and Nila Kasitati (ACL tear). It also adds to the list of injured offensive lineman including a concussion to Gabe Ikard and sprained ankles to Bronson Irwin, Adam Shead and Lane Johnson.

There isn’t a single starting offensive lineman who hasn’t been injured in a game (or preseason) this season.

Stoops said that Tyrus Thompson will take the place of Daryl Williams but Sooners fans could also see a shifting of lineman that includes freshman Ty Darlington at center and current center Gabe Ikard switched out to guard.
