NORMAN — OU football coach Brent Venables didn't have an update on linebacker Kobie McKinzie (groin) or defensive end R Mason Thomas' (unspecified lower body) statuses for the Alabama game on Monday.

McKinzie tried to give it a go in warmups ahead of the Tennessee game, but ultimately sat out. Thomas was injured during his 71-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown against the Volunteers.

"I haven't seen them on the field since last Thursday, so I'll see them here later on today," Venables said. "We'll see where they're at.”

The initial SEC availability report for the Sooners-Crimson Tide game will release Wednesday night.
