Oklahoma wide receiver Marquise Brown left no doubt about his playing status for Saturday's Orange Bowl matchup with Alabama.

Brown was carted off the Sooners' Big 12 Championship Game win over Texas with a left foot injury. He's missed multiple practices in the weeks leading up to the playoff opener but was seen running routes and hauling in passes Wednesday.
"It's getting better. I'm doing the best I can with treatment and everything," Brown said. "I'm just trying to get close to 100 percent Saturday.
