The status of John Mateer for Saturday's Allstate Red River Rivalry game against Texas remained up in the air Wednesday as the star Oklahoma quarterback was listed as questionable on the initial SEC availability report for this week.
Mateer is recovering from Sept. 24 hand surgery, and sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel earlier this week he is pushing for an earlier-than-expected return against the Longhorns on Saturday.
Asked about Mateer's status earlier Wednesday, Sooners coach Brent Venables deferred to the upcoming availability report.
"It'll come out here tonight and everybody will get it at the same time," Venables told reporters.
