Kendel Dolby injury: What happened to Oklahoma DB? Closer look at Sooners' latest setback against Tennessee

Oklahoma Sooners defensive back Kendel Dolby joined the program last season, and he has gone on to prove himself to be an important asset on the field for the Sooners. Last season, he put up 49 total tackles for the program, helping them to a 10-3 overall campaign.

However, during Oklahoma's Week 4 showdown against Tennessee, Kendel Dolby was sidelined in the second quarter of the game. Let us take a look at what went down during the game.

During the second quarter of the Oklahoma vs Tennessee showdown, Kendel Dolby reportedly suffered a lower leg injury. The injury occurred after a tackle by a Tennessee offensive lineman.

Following the tackle, Dolby was down on the ground for a while. His leg was then placed in an air cast before being carted off the field. The entire Sooners team gathered around Dolby during his exit from the field while fans started chanting his name. Dolby then showed a thumbs-up to the fans before being sidelined from the game.

The defensive back had missed Oklahoma's game against Tulane last week due to a concussion. While the nature of his injury has not yet been disclosed, his leg was seen bending in the opposite direction during the tackle.

Thus, fans will be waiting for an update on his injury to see whether he will be sidelined for the rest of the season or if they can expect Dolby to make a comeback on the gridiron very soon.
