Oklahoma’s Box injures elbow
Enid’s Austin Box is expected to miss the rest of Oklahoma’s spring football practice with a sprained elbow.
“That was the likely scenario, according to coach (Bob) Stoops,’’ said OU sports information director Kenny Mossman.
Box, who redshirted as a true freshman, was starting at linebacker before his injury. He did not play in the Sooners’ first major scrimmage Saturday.
Mossman said he didn’t know when the injury occured.
Box dislocated the same left elbow during his senior season at Enid.
Box could not be reached for comment Monday night.
Oklahoma has two weeks remaining in spring workouts. There will be a scrimmage at 1 p.m. Saturday at Owen Field. The annual Red-White Game is April 12.
Agent declares Kelly healthy
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The agent for Oklahoma wide receiver Malcolm Kelly is trying to reassure NFL teams his client is healed from a thigh injury and has no lingering knee problems.
Agent Chad Speck sent a letter to all 32 NFL teams Monday, along with a letter from the doctor who has been treating Kelly, to let them know the receiver projected as a possible first-round draft pick is healthy.
The injury first was diagnosed as a deep thigh bruise, but Kelly actually had a small quadriceps tear. The agent also pointed out that Dr. Michael Hatrak of Alpharetta, Ga., also found “all other structures assessed within normal limits.” Kelly tore an ACL in junior high and had arthroscopic knee surgery during his sophomore year.
