The Oklahoma Sooners cannot catch a break regarding their injuries are now set to be extremely short-handed in their Week 5 matchup against the Auburn Tigers. 

The Sooners released their second availability report ahead of Auburn and it is a brutal one. 

A whopping 10 Sooners are declared as OUT against Auburn, with LB Dasan McCullough and RT Jake Taylor the only two appearing on the report with a different diagnosis. 

Wide receivers Jayden Gibson and Jalil Farooq were on the report last week, with Gibson out for the season. Geirean Hatchett is also out for the year. Kendel Dolby suffered a fractured ankle and is expected to miss most of the season.

Wide receiver Nic Anderson debuted against Tennessee and promptly played nine snaps before getting hurt. Anderson strained his quad, according to head coach Brent Venables. 

OU's second report lists both Andrel Anthony AND Deion Burks out. This will leave the Sooners without any of their top five wide receivers on the season. Yes, you read that correctly. A struggling Oklahoma offense will now be without their wide receivers 1-5.

Oklahoma Sooners HC Brent Venables speaks on simplifying offense moving forward, ‘Don’t let the players think’

After another brutal showing on offense in Week 4 against the Tennessee Volunteers, the Oklahoma Sooners are desperate for answers on the offensive side of the ball. They've already benched Jackson Arnold, replacing him with Michael Hawkins for at least the Auburn game.  Now, the Sooners are turning to addressing their scheme and internal issues […]

To make matters worse, running back Taylor Tatum suffered a concussion against the Tennessee Volunteers and was labeled as doubtful to play this week yesterday and was downgraded to out today. 

Cornerback Gentry Williams has missed the last two games and played just one snap in Oklahoma's Week 2 against Houston, dealing with a shoulder injury.

To make matters worse, the starting kicker Tyler Keltner is battling appendicitis. Yep.

On a positive note, LB Dasan McCullough has continued to ramp up work, improving from doubtful to questionable this week. The same can be said for starting right tackle Jake Taylor, who was questionable last week but has been upgraded to probable this week. 

After their game against Auburn, the Sooners mercifully get a bye week before a brutal stretch where they will have to play Texas, Ole Miss, Missouri, Alabama, and LSU. 

They need to get healthy, fast.
