Jalon Daniels left the game in the first half with a shoulder injury that may keep him out for the rest of the season. There is conflicting reports about the status of Daniels moving forward, get the latest updates here:

It's a tough blow for Daniels, who was opening a lot of eyes nationally for his (and the Jayhawks') start. It's Jason Bean's team now. #kufball
Daniels later denied the report seemingly, but Leipold did call his QB doubtful for Saturday at Oklahoma.
Sheeesh…That’s News to Me🤔 https://t.co/qLfVAxxLZy

#KUfball coach Lance Leipold said Jalon Daniels did not practice today and is probably "doubtful" for Saturday. Said it's still day-to-day and that he won't comment much more than that...

KU is listed as nine-point underdogs at OU but did look formidable on offense with North Texas transfer Jason Bean on hand. The Sooners have injury questions on both sides of the ball as well, so this could be an opportunity for the Jayhawks to stay competitive yet again.
