Oklahoma Sooners Football | Wide Receiver Derrick Woods Dismissed From The Team

One of the big questions this football season has been centered around the whereabouts of redshirt sophomore receiver Derrick Woods. After playing in Oklahoma's first three games of the season, Woods left the Tennessee game with an ankle injury and didn't return to the field until the Texas Tech game on November 15.

Bob Stoops commented about Woods following Oklahoma's 42-30 win over the Red Raiders and everything seemed to be back in order. "Derrick had a bad ankle sprain for quite a while and he's back off of that now," Stoops said. "Hopefully he can start doing some of the things he did special teams-wise especially. He was great in that regard a year ago and we need him back doing some things that way."

On Tuesday the football program released the news that Woods has been indefinitely removed from the team.

. @OU_CoachStoops indicates reserve WR Derrick Woods "has been removed from team indefinitely for violation of team rules."
