As expected, the Sooners welcomed back defensive tackle Casey Walker to practice on Monday. Walker had left the team for two weeks because of a personal issue and did not suit up in either of OU’s first two games.
“He wasn’t as winded as he thought he’d be,” teammate David King said of Walker, who was running extra sprints after practice.
With Walker back, David King, who had been moved to tackle and started there in Walker’s absence, worked exclusively at defensive end Monday. Walker reassumed his starting position at the nose guard, and Jamarkus McFarland, who had been starting at nose guard, slid over to the three technique -- where Stacy McGee was starting before his preseason suspension.
