Overview
- David Stone left Monday practice with a reported lower‑body injury and is scheduled for additional testing, including an MRI, to determine the severity of the damage.
- Early reports say the injury may be a dislocated left knee but that diagnosis is not yet confirmed and the team is awaiting official medical results.
- Stone entered 2026 as a Preseason All‑American and had become Oklahoma’s interior defensive anchor, totaling 12 tackles through three games and a career‑high eight vs. New Mexico.
- If Stone misses extended time, Oklahoma will rely on a committee at tackle with increased snaps likely for Nigel Smith II, Bishop Thomas and Trent Wilson and possible roles for transfers Braxton Fely and Danny Saili.
- Beyond personnel shifts, Stone’s absence could change blocking matchups and pass‑rush lanes and will be a key factor to watch as the Sooners prepare for their upcoming game at Georgia.
