NORMAN, Okla. -- True freshman running back Adrian Peterson dislocated his shoulder during Oklahoma's first scrimmage Sunday night.

Peterson's left shoulder was injured as he fell to the ground late in the practice. He carried six times for eight yards before going down.

"It's a minor dislocation," OU head coach Bob Stoops said. "From what I understand, the rest of it looks good. There isn't anything else wrong with it. We'll just take some time to let him get the soreness out."

Meanwhile, quarterback Jason White completed 11-of-17 passes, had two touchdowns and was intercepted once during the two-hour, 118-play scrimmage that drew about 11,000 spectators.

White connected with Travis Wilson on a 20-yard pass and then hit Brandon Jones with an 18-yarder.

"Jason looked great," Stoops said. I thought all of the quarterbacks looked great and Jason in particular. It's what you'd expect."

Donta Hickson rushed for 52 yards on 22 carries and had a 1-yard touchdown. Kejuan Jones added 10 carries for 38 yards and Courtney Tennial ran up 27 yards on 11 carries.

On receptions, James Moses caught four passes for 29 yards, Quentin Chaney caught three for 41, while Wilson had three for 30.

On defense, linebacker Rufus Alexander led the team with eight tackles, while fellow linebacker, Demarrio Pleasant, and defensive back Brandon Shelby both had six.

go ask MoC how a shoulder injury enhances your season.
 
That shoulder will be a problem over the course of the season...might get him a RS. If no RS, look for that thing to nag him all season long. As seen with MoC, shoulder injuries on RBs are big time problems

Clarett's injury was a severe stinger, not a mild separation. Totally different types of injury that just happened to both occur to their shoulders.

True but separated shoulders, even mild ones, have a tendancy to slip out again when not rested properly. Stingers and separations both nag on and on...

21 is right on this. I separated my shoulder about three years ago, and it still feels like it could pop out again at anytime. It hasn't, but a good friend of mine did the same about six months after I did, and it has since dislocated another 6-8 times. The original dislocation was very mild, but now he needs to get surgery so that he can lift his arm above his head. In talking with my doctor, shoulder separations can be very serious, even if the injury itself doesn't seem to be at the time, because in separating the shoulder can be permanently damaged, leaving the liklihood of the separation occurring over and over again, doing more damage each time.

That is going to be a problem if they were counting on him at all this year.


It's more than likely going to be a problem anyway. Separations, like concussions, seem to keep coming back. Once you get one, you are more prone to another one.
