Sophomore wide receiver Jaz Reynolds didn't suit up for last week's game against Air Force, but is back at practice and is trying to regain his status with the team this week, coach Bob Stoops said.
"I suspended him for last week's game because of academic issues," Stoops said. "But he was out there today, and we'll see if he can straighten some of that stuff out."
Box report: Stoops said linebacker Austin Box is "progressing" from a preseason back injury.
"He's not quite ready yet," Stoops said. "He's doing more each week, lifting and doing some conditioning in the pool. So he's getting closer. I'm not exactly sure what date they'll release him, but it's positive anyway. So hopefully we get him here the second half of the season, it'd be a big bonus."
Stoops also said freshman tailback Brennan Clay isn't back to practice yet and wouldn't be available for this week's game against Cincinnati. Clay was knocked out and sustained a concussion against Florida State.
Stevens in: Stoops said kicker Patrick O'Hara is "still pretty sore" from a muscle strain that kept him out of the Air Force game. "So I'll go into this game with Jimmy (Stevens) as the kicker for sure - especially how he played the other night," Stoops said.
Nelson mending: Safety Jonathan Nelson sustained what he called a "mild concussion" against Air Force. He practiced on Monday with a mandate of no contact, though he said he expected to be released for full contact later in the
week.
"It's not that bad," Nelson said. "It's a precaution."
