Stress fracture sidelines starting Oklahoma cornerback

At least it’s not prostitution-related when it comes to Oklahoma’s secondary, right?

Bob Stoops confirmed Wednesday that Jordan Parker suffered a stress fracture in his left foot. The rising sophomore cornerback, the head coach said, sustained the injury in a spring practice session last week.

As a result, Parker will miss the remainder of the Sooners’ spring practice.

Tentatively, Parker is expected to miss the next eight weeks. Such a timeframe would allow the corner to participate in summer workouts in June as well as make him 100-percent healthy for the start of summer camp in early August.

Parker started the last eight games of the 2016 season. He’s been pencilled in as a starter ahead of the start of the 2017 season.
