After taking a shot to the head against Texas last week, it appears that star wide receiver James Washington will not be playing today against Iowa State, per multiple reports.
James Washington will not play, per RA.

Rex Holt said on the radio that #okstate receiver James Washington still hasn't cleared concussion protocol to play in today's game

Washington was apparently unconscious on the turf for a brief period of time last week, but was held out of the game as a precaution, and not because of a concussion, according to Mike Gundy. It is unclear as to the severity of Washington’s injury, but it’s a big loss for the time being.
Expect a lot of playing time for Chris Lacy in Washington’s absence.
