LOOK: First Injury Report Revealed For Ole Miss Football vs. Oklahoma
The No. 18 Ole Miss Rebels are returning to the field on Saturday to take on the Oklahoma Sooners, and the first injury report for the game was released by the Southeastern Conference on Wednesday night.
Ole Miss (5-2, 1-2 SEC) had an open date last week, so its injury report is greatly lessened in length leading up to the game against the Sooners. You can view the initial report for both teams below.

Cedrick Beavers and Logan Diggs are the only two Rebels who are definitely out on Saturday, and running back Matt Jones is listed is “doubtful,” meaning we could see more action from Ulysses Bentley IV in the backfield against the Sooners.
In the “questionable” category are offensive linemen Jayden Williams and Jeremy James alongside wide receiver Tre Harris. Princely Umanmielen, TJ Dottery and Cayden Lee are all listed as “probable.” If Williams and James are able to suit up and go, that would be a big boost to what has been a struggling trench unit during conference play.
“We all have room to grow,” Rebels center Reese McIntyre said earlier this week. “We’re all learning every day. We’re taking what (offensive line) Coach (John) Garrison is coaching and applying it on the field.
“You’ve just got to flush it and go. Oklahoma is coming in, so it will be a good challenge for us this week.”
Harris’ addition to this list is also a big deal for Ole Miss as the offensive production has seemed to lessen when he is not available.
For Oklahoma, it doesn’t look like much will change between now and Saturday as seven of the nine players on the list are officially out. Running back Gavin Sawchuk is doubtful to see the field against the Rebels, and wide receiver Deion Burks is listed as “questionable.”
Kickoff between Ole Miss and Oklahoma is scheduled for 11 a.m. CT on Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford. The game will be televised on ESPN.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Phoenix Suns in Game 2 of their opening-round series. The OKC Thunder are hoping that they can repeat their Sunday afternoon performance in this contest. Game 2 will be an interesting test with the Suns having more time to prepare.
Phoenix was up against a rock and a hard place in the series opener. The Oklahoma City Thunder not only have the talent advantage but the rest advantage as well. Phoenix punched their ticket to the NBA Playoffs on Friday night by staving off the Golden State Warriors on Friday night before landing in Oklahoma City on Saturday and playing on Saturday afternoon to the tune of a 119-84 blowout Thunder victory.
The NBA has seen plenty of upsets already. The Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers and Portland Trail Blazers have all stolen games from the higher seed. The Thunder know they have to keep the foot on the gas in this contest.
“These series are unpredictable. No 2 games are the same. The minute you make an assumption, you are overconfident, or the minute you go down and you’re overly urgent, that can impact your ability to be present in the next game,” Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said pregame on Wednesday night.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are seeing the Suns make an adjustment with their starting lineup by inserting Collin Gillespie to give Phoenix a trio of ball handling scoring options alongside Devin Booker and Jalen Green. This gives the Suns hope to be able to find better shot quality against this stifling Thunder defensive unit.
Oklahoma City is healthier now than they have been all season. The Thunder only are missing rookie Thomas Sorber (ACL) who is out for the year. This allows the Bricktown Ballers to roll out their traditional first five in this contest.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA (KOKH) — The Oklahoma City Fire Department responded to a home fire late Tuesday evening, around 10:42 p.m.

Firefighters were able to rescue an adult female from inside the home. No injuries were reported in connection with the fire.

NORMAN — The Sooners were behind the eight ball for much of Tuesday’s game against Oral Roberts.
But one swing of the bat got them in a more favorable position.
Shortstop Jaxon Willits blasted a grand slam in the sixth inning to give No. 14 Oklahoma its first lead before eventually winning 7-6.
The Sooners trailed by as many as five runs before they rallied late.
In the first inning, Oral Roberts’ Cooper Combs hit a two-out grand slam to give the Golden Eagles a comfortable cushion. OU infielder Deiten Lachance got the Sooners on the board in the second inning with a solo home run, but ORU responded with a solo shot of its own in the next frame.
The Golden Eagles made it a 6-1 run game in the top of the fourth, and they appeared to be on cruise control. But in the bottom of that frame, OU’s rally began.
Dasan Harris made it a four-run game again with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the fourth before Camden Johnson hit a sacrifice fly of his own in the fifth.
Then, in the sixth, the Sooners took their first lead of the game.

Harris singled before Kyle Branch and Connor Larkin walked to load the bases. Willits then swung at the first pitch he saw, sending it well over the right-center field fence.
Neither team scored after Willits’ home run, as OU relief pitcher Xander Mercurius retired nine ORU batters in a row to seal the Sooners’ one-run win.
Michael Catalano started on the mound for Oklahoma, but his outing was short-lived — he gave up four earned runs on two hits and five walks in 1 ⅓ innings.
After coach Skip Johnson relieved Catalano in the second inning, six different OU arms entered the game. Reid Hensley collected the win, while Mercurius got the save.
OU improved to 28-12 overall with the win, while Oral Roberts dropped to 23-15. The Sooners are 7-3 in midweek games this season, and they clinched the season sweep of the Golden Eagles on Tuesday.
Next, the Sooners will hit the road for a three-game series against Auburn. The Tigers, ranked No. 11 by D1Baseball, are 10-8 in SEC play and took two of three games against Florida over the weekend.
The series will open on Friday, and first pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.
