Kyshawn George News: Back to Bench Monday

Oklahoma Sooners Wide Receiver Kyshawn George Expected to Return to Bench Against Texas

After serving a one-game suspension for violating team rules, sophomore wide receiver Kyshawn George is expected to return to the bench for the Oklahoma Sooners' game against the Texas Longhorns on Monday.

George, who started the first two games of the season, was suspended for the Sooners' Week 3 win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables did not specify the nature of George's violation, but said that he expects the wide receiver to learn from his mistake and be a valuable contributor to the team moving forward.

George's Suspension a Setback for Oklahoma's Receiving Corps

George's suspension was a setback for Oklahoma's receiving corps, which has been hit by injuries this season. Senior wide receiver Marvin Mims has missed the past two games with a wrist injury, and junior wide receiver Theo Wease has been limited by a foot injury.

In George's absence, sophomore wide receiver Jalil Farooq and junior wide receiver Drake Stoops have stepped up to fill the void. Farooq has caught 10 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns in the past two games, while Stoops has caught 12 passes for 120 yards.

George Expected to Provide Depth to Oklahoma's Receiving Corps

With Mims and Wease expected to return from injury soon, George's return to the bench will provide Oklahoma with much-needed depth at wide receiver. George is a talented playmaker who can stretch the field and make big plays.

The Sooners will need all hands on deck when they face the Longhorns on Monday. Texas has one of the best pass defenses in the country, and Oklahoma will need to find ways to get its receivers open and create big plays.
