US EditionOklahoma WR Keontez Lewis leaves game after headfirst collision with brick barrier
Keontez Lewis collided headfirst with an unpadded brick wall while chasing an overthrown pass and was carted off after initial tests showed no fractures, OU officials said.
- On Saturday, Oklahoma wide receiver Keontez Lewis left the game after hitting his head with 10:37 remaining in the first quarter at Owen Field.
- Michael Hawkins Jr.'s overthrown pass went out of reach in the back of the end zone as Keontez Lewis ran full speed, carrying momentum into the play.
- About 10 minutes later, Keontez Lewis was strapped to a stretcher and removed, with OU in-house radio reporting he moved and walked while OU medicine scheduled further tests.
- With Lewis sidelined, Oklahoma lost a key receiver with 17 catches, 210 yards and two touchdowns this season, and Todd Bates led a team prayer while medics worked.
- The stadium's brick barrier surrounds much of Owen Field and is close to play, and Keontez Lewis left the Temple game a few weeks ago after a head collision, prompting off-site additional testing.
