NORMAN -- It appears it will be a little later than sooner for Nic Anderson's return from injury.

OU's receiver will miss Saturday's game vs. Houston due to an injury, according to a report from 247Sports' Matt Zenitz. Sooners head coach Brent Venables said this week Anderson would be back "sooner rather than later."

Venables said last week on his coach's show Anderson had been limited during practice.
