A couple of photos of Otega Oweh are making the rounds this morning that show the Kentucky star wearing a boot.
There has been no announcement or confirmation that Oweh is actually injured.
For now, we are going to say this is nothing to be concerned about but we will wait for official word (or no word) from UK Athletics:

Obviously, many fans online are concerned about a potential injury, while others are voicing skepticism about the photos even being real.
Even Grok (X’s AI bot) thinks the pictures are sketchy:
Yes, the image appears to be AI-generated or heavily manipulated. Visual inconsistencies, such as the boot's integration and mismatched footwear, suggest editing. No credible sources report Otega Oweh injured in August 2025; he was active in camp days ago.
