Is Brenen Thompson playing today vs LSU? Oklahoma wide receiver status explored

Brenen Thompson is a rotational wide receiver for the Oklahoma Sooners. The junior-year pass catcher is known to do a job when called upon by Brent Venables.

Ahead of the Sooners game against the LSU Tigers, let's take a look at Thompson's availability.

Brenen Thompson's injury update

According to Eric Bailey, Brenen Thompson is available ahead of the game against the LSU Tigers. The pacey pass catcher was dealing with a minor injury issue.

The Sooners have a slew of wide receivers listed as out for the game against the Tigers. They include Jayden Gibson, Nic Anderson, Deion Burks and Jalil Farooq. Furthermore, Andrel Anthony is listed as questionable, while tight end Kade McIntyre will play no part in the game.
