Two injury updates
* Texas' Colt McCoy will lose a thumbnail but not playing time. McCoy injured the thumb on his right (throwing) hand in the second quarter of the victory against Oklahoma. He had one of the worst passing games of his career, 21 of 39 for 127 yards.
* The good news is Sam Bradford's shoulder was not further damaged by the first-quarter sack against the Longhorns. Although it's assumed Bradford is done for the season, coach Bob Stoops said he wouldn't comment on his status until later this week.
