Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer on Thursday posted to social media that the procedure on a broken bone in his right hand was successful.
"Thank God for a successful procedure," Mateer posted to X. "Dr. Shin is the GOAT. BOOMER SOONER!!"
Dr. Steven Shin, one of the country's leading hand/wrist surgeons, performed the procedure in Los Angeles.
Sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Tuesday that Mateer, the early Heisman Trophy front-runner, will miss about a month after suffering the injury in Saturday's win over Auburn.
