Brent Venables provides injury updates on Kip Lewis and Michael Fasusi
Summary

Oklahoma football coach Brent Venables confirmed injuries to linebacker Kip Lewis and offensive lineman Michael Fasusi following the team's 17-10 loss to Michigan. Lewis exited the contest during the first half with a right knee injury and is expected to miss time. Fasusi was held out of the game due to a lingering shoulder issue sustained against UTEP, though Venables described the injury as short-term rather than long-term. Meanwhile, Ryan Fodje returned to the starting lineup after missing the previous week of play. The Sooners are preparing for their next opponent, New Mexico, with a matchup scheduled for September 19 at 6:30 p.m. The team looks to recover from the recent road defeat as coaching staff evaluates the health of key personnel moving forward.
