Once again, Oklahoma will be down a pair of ends along its defensive line who began the season as starters.
On his weekly radio show Wednesday night, Bob Stoops confirmed that both Matt Dimon (pictured, left) and Charles Walker are expected to miss Saturday’s game against Kansas State because of injury. The former will be sidelined because of an unspecified leg injury, the latter a concussion.
Dimon hasn’t played since suffering his injury in the Sept. 17 loss to Ohio State, and will miss his third straight game. A concussion sustained in the TCU win Oct. 1 will knock Walker out for back-to-back games. The concussion, incidentally, was the second one the lineman has suffered in less than 10 months.
Walker had started the first four games of the 2016 season, the first starts of his career, prior to the most recent head injury. After accumulating 10 tackles for loss, second on the team, in 12 games last season, he has two this year.
Dimon started the opener against Houston and the OSU game, missing the Louisiana-Monroe game that was sandwiched in between.
