The star Gamecocks EDGE sat on a chair and was attended to by several trainers before heading to the locker room during Oklahoma’s second drive of the game.
With the clock at 4:40 in the first quarter, Stewart emerged from the locker room. Sideline reporter Alyssa Lang stated it was a hip flexor issue.
Stewart received ice, was seen riding the sideline stationary bike, and had trainers stretching him out. He clearly wants to return to the field, but he hasn’t done so yet and is questionable to return.
