Starting Senior Right Guard Tyler Evans has suffered a season-ending ACL injury, becoming the second offensive line loss in less than a week of practice for the Sooners.
Coach Bob Stoops confirmed the injury to Evans. He said after Monday’s practice that Evans was running down the field during the Sooners’ first practice of training camp Friday when he was hurt.
Evans’ loss comes after Ben Habern’s decision last week to leave football because of lingering neck and back injuries. Habern and Evans combined for 59 career starts on the Oklahoma offensive line.
The injury to Evans will lead to backup Bronson Irwin becoming the new starting right guard.
Evans was Oklahoma’s most experienced lineman left after Habern’s departure. Evans has 29 career starts and has been in the lineup for the past 13 games in a row.
