No update on Oklahoma State football’s Ollie Gordon injury

play

STILLWATER – As Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon II left the Sherman Smith Training Center after the Cowboys' practice Thursday morning, he shouted toward Mike Gundy while the coach spoke to the media.

Gordon's timing was nearly perfect: He caught everyone's attention just moments after Gundy was asked about rumors circulating on social media – and in most cases completely untrue – that Gordon had suffered a serious injury earlier in the week.

“I would never comment on any injuries,” Gundy said when asked about rumors about Gordon's health. “Nobody knows of any injuries in camp except me.”

There is no indication of any significant injury to Gordon.

Although Thursday's practice was closed to the media as usual, Gordon left the gym on his own two feet wearing pads and his signature orange practice jersey – not the green jersey that injured players are usually given to protect them during non-contact practice.

Gordon is the centerpiece of an exciting Cowboys offense thanks to his outstanding sophomore season. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound running back posted 1,732 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns and will once again be the focal point of a group that returns 10 starters this fall.
