Samaje Perine Injury: Updates on Oklahoma RB's Ankle and Return

Giving up a game-tying touchdown in the final minute of an eventual overtime loss to Oklahoma State was bad enough for Oklahoma. Losing Samaje Perine in the process only compounds the Sooners' frustration.

Guerin Emig of the Tulsa World provided an update from head coach Bob Stoops after the game:

The freshman running back exited the game in the third quarter after fumbling. Jason Kersey of The Oklahoman reported that Perine would be out for the rest of the game:

The good news was that he walked to the locker room under his own power. Carson Cunningham of KOCO 5 in Oklahoma City videoed Perine as he left the field:

Even though his evening ended prematurely, he ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries.

The Sooners are headed to a bowl game at some point in the coming weeks, so the health of Perine will be an ongoing storyline for Oklahoma.
