With one of the most physical games of the season upon them this Saturday, the Oklahoma Sooners took a big blow to their defensive front today when Bob Stoops announced star defensive lineman Charles Walker would be out for the Texas game with a concussion. 

Walker's injury occurred in the win over TCU this past weekend, but this isn't his first time he's had to miss action with a concussion. Walker also missed the Sooners' semifinal matchup with Clemson last season with the same injury. 

Walker has recorded seven tackles on the season, two for loss, and has four pass breakups to his name.
