Ongoing construction work on Interstate 35 may cause traffic delays, and new requirements on what spectators can and cannot carry into the stadium may cause frustration at the gate. Fans would do well to plan ahead, police and OU officials said.

In fact, it's easy to forget he suffered that injury at all. His practice time has far exceeded his rest time throughout training camp and he played in his first live game this past week at Cleveland.

Offense: OL Gabe Ikard & FB Trey Millard
Defense: CB Aaron Colvin & LB Corey Nelson
Special Teams: OL Austin Woods & K Michael Hunnicutt
There were certainly no surprises in that group, as both Ikard and Millard served in those roles a year ago, while fellow seniors Colvin and Nelson have also embraced even more of a leadership role in 2013. Without question, Woods earned the respect of his teammates a year ago while beating cancer, while Hunnicutt is the lone junior among the group.

NFL: Ronnell Lewis Cut By Detroit

![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aIfmX_fMNFo/UcQDnH-QnMI/AAAAAAAACcY/-qEj75nu8pM/s320/ronnell-lewis-oklahoma.jpg)
Lewis, a fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma last year, was supposed to be a core special-teams player as a rookie. Instead, he was inactive for the final seven games of the season and played just one defensive snap in 2012.
Adrian Peterson on ACL Recovery: I Set the Standard High

Before Adrian Peterson, taking a year to come back from ACL surgery was OK. Needing an extra year to return to normal off an ACL injury was standard. Again, that was before Peterson.
Now people just figure Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III will be back by the regular season. Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose becomes a punchline when he's not back on the basketball court in less than a year.

But the bottom line is, the Big 12's second-leading tackler last season signed with Arizona. Jefferson faced long odds to make the roster but recorded two interceptions last week against Dallas, a performance that has him on the Cardinals' radar.
“I played fast, how I can play,” Jefferson said in a telephone interview with The Oklahoman. “It showed coaches they can trust me a little bit. I feel that game will help.”
