Brady Cook, Deion Burks injury update: Statuses revealed for Missouri, Oklahoma stars on Thursday injury report

The Oklahoma Sooners and Missouri Tigers are both looking to get back on track for the final stretch of the season. However, they’re both also dealing with an extensive list of injuries at this point in the season.

For Missouri, the major concern is their starting quarterback Brady Cook. After getting knocked out of the Alabama game, his status is up in the air. With another quarterback, Sam Horn, already out, that means that the Tigers would likely turn to Drew Pyne if he’s unable to play.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma has seen its wide receiver room decimated by injuries this season. Three of those wide receivers are already out for the game. However, there are two key wide receivers who were listed as questionable on Wednesday, Jalil Farooq and Deion Burks. Getting them back would be huge for a struggling Oklahoma offense.

With all of that in mind, here’s a look at the full Thursday injury reports for both Missouri and Oklahoma:

Oklahoma Sooners

• WR Jayden Gibson – Out
• WR Nic Anderson – Out
• WR Andrel Anthony – Out
• DB Gentry Williams – Out
• DB Kendel Dolby – Out
• OL Geirean Hatchett – Out
• OL Jacob Sexton – Out
• OL Jake Taylor – Out
• OL Joshua Bates – Doubtful
• RB Jovantae Barnes – Questionable
• RB Gavin Sawchuk – Questionable
• DL PJ Adebawore – Questionable
• OL Michael Tarquin – Questionable
• WR Jalil Farooq – Probable
• WR Deion Burks – Probable

Missouri Tigers

• LB Brayshawn Littlejohn – Out
• DE Darris Smith – Out
• QB Sam Horn – Out
• LB Khalil Jacobs – Out
• DE Joe Moore – Out
• WR Mookie Cooper – Doubtful
• RB Nate Noel – Questionable
• QB Brady Cook – Questionable
• OL Logan Reichart – Questionable
• OL Cayden Green – Probable

Brady Cook began to deal with injury issues in the Auburn game. That game saw him leave with an injury, go to the hospital for tests, then return to the field to lead the Tigers to a come-from-behind win. After that game, he spoke about what returning to that game meant to him.

“Ultimately, I realized I had 2 1/2 games left to play in Faurot [Field] in front of that crowd and in front of Mizzou and we were going to find a way,” Cook said. “I knew we were down. I knew we needed to comeback and find a way to win this game. You know, we lose that game, the rest of our season looks a little different. I recognize that and I knew we needed to go win it.”

Unfortunately, Cook then went on to injure his hand against Alabama and was knocked out of that game entirely. Now, his status moving forward is up in the air.

Oklahoma, meanwhile, has lost the last three games it’s played against FBS opponents. A major issue during the season has been the offense and that’s led to a quarterback controversy and a change in offensive coordinator already. The injuries to the wide receivers also haven’t helped.

Deion Burks last played against Tennessee in September and has been out since then with a “soft tissue” injury. Meanwhile, Jalil Farooq has only played in one game this season and not since Week 1 against Temple.

Further injury reports will come out at approximately 8 p.m. EST on Friday. Then, Saturday’s will come out around 90 minutes before kickoff. That kickoff between Missouri and Oklahoma is currently scheduled for 7:45 p.m. EST.
