Perine Underwent Ankle Surgery
The Sooners' leading rusher in 2015, with 1,349 yards and 16 touchdowns, will miss spring practice after having surgery to repair a ligament in his ankle, which he hurt in the Orange Bowl against the Clemson Tigers, per ESPN's Matt Fortuna.
Clemson held Perine to 58 yards on only 15 carries in Oklahoma's 37-17 loss to the Tigers.
The good news for Perine is that he's handling the situation now and could be ready when the Sooners report to practice again after the summer.
