Oklahoma installing padding on walls around field before game vs. Ole Miss, weeks after scary injury
- On Oct 23, 2025, Oklahoma is installing padding around Owen Field ahead of Saturday's home game, an OU athletics spokesperson confirmed the work includes end-zone and sideline walls.
- During the Oct. 4 game, Keontez Lewis collided headfirst with an unpadded brick wall in the north end zone and was carted off against Kent State.
- The OU Daily first reported the planned change, and Brent Venables, Oklahoma coach, said plans were in the works within days of the injury.
- Lewis appeared the next week against Texas but missed Saturday's 26-7 victory over South Carolina and is listed as doubtful on Wednesday's SEC availability report.
- Three weeks after the injury, the work is being done and the Sooners and Rebels kick at 11 a.m. on Saturday for Oklahoma's first home game since Oct. 4.
