Lincoln Riley announces injuries, position changes before Oklahoma's 2019 spring practice

NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley kicked off the Sooners' 2019 spring practice campaign with a news-heavy press conference on Wednesday afternoon.

Riley announced numerous injuries and position changes that will impact Oklahoma as its spring season gets underway on Thursday.

Center Creed Humphrey, safety Robert Barnes, safety Jordan Parker, pass rusher Jalen Redmond, cornerback Starrland Baldwin and walk-on running back Michael Anderson will all miss spring ball with injuries. Riley added that "none of these were unexpected" and that everyone should be healthy for the season.

The headliner there is Humphrey, who is Oklahoma's only returning offensive lineman.
