Defensive tackle Adrian Taylor says it will be a "game day decision" whether he plays for No. 7 Oklahoma in its season opener Saturday against Utah State.
Taylor is recovering from a broken ankle suffered in the
Sooners' Sun Bowl victory in December and said Monday "it's a
day-by-day process" at this point. He plans to meet with team
doctors on Saturday to decide whether he'll play.
Taylor says "don't be surprised if I'm out there, don't be
surprised if I'm not out there."
Taylor and No. 3 overall NFL draft pick Gerald McCoy teamed to
make up a dominant force in the middle of Oklahoma's defensive line
last season. The two played nearly every snap until Taylor was
injured.
Taylor says he's eager to play but understands it may not be the
right thing to do for his well-being.
