SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING Click county for more information: Bryan        

NORMAN — Oklahoma strong safety Reggie Smith is expected to play today, although his playing time might be limited due to a bruised knee.

Smith took a shot to his left knee during a punt return against Iowa State a week ago. He returned to play in that game but was held out of practice Monday and Tuesday, which he spent on crutches. Smith did practice Wednesday and went through Thursday's light workout. An MRI exam earlier in the week came back negative, revealing a bruise.

Smith ranks sixth on the team in tackles and second in pass breakups.
