Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel is expected to return for the Sooners’ matchup against the No. 19 Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday after spending two weeks in concussion protocol. He suffered a head injury in Week 5 in Oklahoma’s loss to TCU and sat out of the Sooners’ 49-0 loss to Texas on Saturday.
Per head coach Brent Venables, Gabriel has been a full participant in practice this week and is expected to play against Kansas this weekend, though a final decision won’t be made until Thursday. Oklahoma has struggled lately, dropping their last three games in Big 12 play after starting the season 3-0.
Brent Venables says Dillon Gabriel is a “full go” at practice right now
