LOS ANGELES -- Judge for yourself whether there should be legitimate concern over the health of Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield.

For the third consecutive day, the Heisman Trophy winner didn't participate in an Oklahoma non-football activity due what is believed to be an unknown sickness. On Friday, Mayfield did not attend a media availability in downtown Los Angeles. 

He has "no voice to speak of," said a team spokesman.

Another source termed Mayfield's affliction, "a little cold. Nothing major."

Three days before the College Football Playoff semifinal against Georgia at the Rose Bowl, that's not good news. Mayfield was the runaway Heisman winner, leading the nation in passing efficiency each of the last two years. 

Going into his last college game, Mayfield is widely considered one of the best Sooners' players in history. 

Georgia defensive end Jonathan Ledbetter is hopeful to see Mayfield suit up.

"I hope he (Mayfield) does get to play," Ledbetter said. "I actually played in a game I did have a fever. I just put on a thermal. I kind of tried to sweat it out. I was in the hotel coughing, throwing up. I still came out and played. If something is broken, I actually still might play. Until I can't play, I'm going to play."

Oklahoma officials wouldn't specify Mayfield's illness, only that it is legitimate. When asked about their quarterback's health Friday, Oklahoma players and coaches, to a man, said, "You'll have to ask Coach Riley."

Coach Lincoln Riley wasn't at Friday's availability that was supposed to feature Mayfield, other Sooners offensive players and Georgia defensive players. 

Other than that, Mayfield's exact condition isn't known. He has practiced to some degree this week, but wasn't at a Wednesday media availability at Disneyland. 

Friday's availability at the L.A. Hotel Downtown is about a 15-minute walk from Oklahoma's team hotel.

Had a cold weeks ago when the wildfires and santa anas hit SoCal. Didn't think it was a cold at first. Had no voice for 5 days and nose ran like a faucet which made me leave the office. Other than that, I felt fine except the Zyrtec to dry my nose put me in a fog. By holiday break many people had it.

Lol, 99% chance he has the flu. Move along, nothing to see here.

Note that it matters, we are not taking qb before RD4, and likely defense until then, especially since Mac also does not like to spend high draft picks on OL.  Friggin' safety sure, QB? OL? nah, just need JAG castoffs for that. But slow oversized big hitting safeties? Cant have too many? There are the key to the Bowles "Mediocre 5" defense. We are the German Thai food of the NFL.

He's been practicing, just skipping the press crap 

That probably just means they don't want Georgia to figure out what he has 

It's Baker Mayfiled. It could be a flu it could be the effects of alcohol poisoning. That's what makes Baker the most interesting QB prospect to evaluate in a long time.

C’mon man..where are these stupid “it’s alcohol” comments from everyone coming from? He got ONE DUI..he’s a 21 year old. He’s a college student. Being 21 myself I can tell you this type of stuff happens still lol...He ain’t a sober angel. It is what it is..but if this was never a reoccurring event I don’t see why he should be pinned to it.

There should be concern if it was alcohol but not because he might be an alcoholic at the ripe age of 21, but because he made a poor decision so close to his playoff match up.

Yeah. But the stuff with Carfentanyl is worse. 10mg Narcan aint touching people sometimes. 

 

Ugly.

Yeah, it’s a real issue now. Seriously. They are even lacing marijuana with it. I mean you have to be pretty stupid to lace it with an expensive drug because you’d have to make money back from it..which you won’t do selling it as weed..but if you just go to strangers and sh*t..especially in the city..it’ll eventually happen..one day.

You don't practice with alcohol poisoning 

Try evaluating a few facts
