Oklahoma defensive captain and leading tackler Travis Lewis will miss up to eight weeks with a broken bone in his left foot, leaving the Sooners without one of their best defensive players for a few crucial early season games. Athletic trainer Scott Anderson said Tuesday that Lewis' injury will not require surgery, and will be treated with rest and immobilization. Lewis, chosen as the Big 12's preseason defensive player of the year by the media, was injured Monday during Oklahoma's first practice in pads of training camp. "We're disappointed for Travis," coach Bob Stoops said in a statement. "He has worked very hard and I know he'll want to get back as quickly as possible. "We'll adapt in the meantime. We've recruited very well and have some excellent athletes in those positions. I'm confident that those players will perform well." If Lewis is out eight weeks, he would miss Oklahoma's first four games -- including a Sept. 17 trip to Florida State and a Sept. 24 rematch against Missouri, which beat the Sooners last season to knock them out of the top spot in the BCS standings.
