Travis Lewis the Sooners starting linebacker who returned for his senior season will be out 8 weeks after breaking a bone in his foot. Â Corey Nelson will be moving into the starting position for Lewis. Â Nelson received rave reviews in the spring and will be put to the test right out of the gate with a trip to Tallahassee the second week of the season.
Lewis’s foot won’t require surgery, just rest and immobilization. Â This has to be a big disappointment for Lewis who came back to help the Sooners and hopefully improve his draft stock.
