Oklahoma Sooners CB Jordan Parker out for season with knee injury

Oklahoma cornerback Jordan Parker will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, coach Lincoln Riley announced Monday.

Parker was injured on a special teams play when he was blocking during a punt return early in Saturday's 56-7 win over UTEP. He was unable to put any weight on his leg after the punt and was helped off the field by teammates.

The sophomore started eight games for the Sooners last season. In 10 games overall, he totaled 36 tackles and one fumble recovery. He was considered to be a key part of the team's secondary despite losing the preseason competition to Parnell Motley.

Last spring, Parker missed most of Oklahoma's spring practice with a foot injury.

The Sooners will travel to play Ohio State on Saturday night.
