Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer was the last player Sooner Nation wanted injured, but he’s also the first type of player fans want to be pushing to come back from an injury.
Mateer injured his throwing hand in the first quarter against Auburn on Sept. 20, and there’s still no firm timeframe on his return after having surgery last week. But even if there was a timeline, it doesn’t seem like it would matter to Mateer.
