Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer might not miss that much time at all after undergoing surgery on his hand just two weeks ago. There's a chance the Heisman Trophy candidate will return this upcoming Saturday for the Red River rivalry game between the Sooners and the Texas Longhorns on Oct. 11, per ESPN's Pete Thamel.
This would be quite the incredible comeback as Mateer would only be 17 days removed from having surgery on his throwing hand to repair a broken bone. He was injured in Oklahoma's 24-17 win over Auburn on Sept. 20. Thamel reported that Mateer reacted well to surgery. If Mateer does come back this weekend, he will have only missed one contest as Oklahoma also had their bye week the weekend after his surgery.
