Brent Venables Updates Injury Status for Pair of Key Wide Receivers Ahead of Temple
Sooners Still Waiting on Health Status for Pair of Wideouts
Marvin Mims, Theo Wease Expected to Play in Season Opener
**Norman, OK** - Oklahoma Sooners head coach Brent Venables provided an update on the injury status of two key wide receivers ahead of the team's season opener against Temple. Marvin Mims and Theo Wease are both expected to play in the game, according to Venables. Mims has been dealing with a shoulder injury, while Wease has been recovering from a foot injury. "Marvin is doing well," Venables said. "He's been practicing all week and he's expected to play on Saturday." "Theo is also doing well," Venables added. "He's been limited in practice this week, but he's expected to play." The Sooners are counting on Mims and Wease to be major contributors to the offense this season. Mims is one of the most explosive receivers in the country, while Wease is a reliable target with good size and athleticism. If Mims and Wease are able to stay healthy, they will give quarterback Dillon Gabriel a pair of dangerous weapons to work with. The Sooners are hoping to make a run at the College Football Playoff this season, and they will need Mims and Wease to be at their best. **Additional Notes:** * Mims is coming off a season in which he caught 32 passes for 513 yards and 9 touchdowns. * Wease caught 45 passes for 530 yards and 5 touchdowns last season. * The Sooners open the season against Temple on September 3rd at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
