The Oklahoma Sooners football program has addressed the situation surrounding defensive tackle David Stone, who suffered a knee injury during practice earlier this week ahead of Oklahoma’s matchup with Georgia. Head coach Brent Venables said initial X-rays were positive and indicated that Stone’s pain level was relatively low following the incident.
Stone’s status became an important storyline as Oklahoma prepared for its SEC clash with No. 2 Georgia. Venables explained that Stone’s knee made contact with a scout-team player during a jog-through, after which the defensive lineman experienced discomfort. The coaching staff continued to monitor his condition as the team prepared for the game.
The Sooners entered the Georgia game with a 2–1 record after victories over UTEP and New Mexico and a road loss to Michigan. Oklahoma’s official schedule lists the Georgia matchup as the team’s next SEC contest.
The situation surrounding Stone adds another layer of attention to an important point in Oklahoma’s season. Fans will be watching closely for further updates from the Sooners regarding his availability and recovery as the team continues its 2026 campaign.
