Oklahoma football is facing significant injury challenges ahead of their opening game against Temple, with top wide receiver Nic Anderson confirmed out due to an unspecified injury, while Jayden Gibson is also sidelined for the season. Although the Sooners are expected to perform well as 42.5-point favorites against Temple, the absence of key receivers raises questions about their offensive capabilities. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles have placed rookie receiver Ainias Smith on short-term injured reserve due to ankle and hamstring injuries sustained during preseason, which will sideline him for at least four games. Smith, who had shown promise late in training camp, will not count against the team's 53-man roster, offering him time to recover. The Eagles are still set with a strong receiving corps, including A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, as they finalize their roster. This injury, however, opens opportunities for other receivers like veteran Parris Campbell.
