Date Time Player Name Pos Status Injury Notes
11/26 2:35pm Wendel Davis LB Doubtful Leg Davis left the week 13 game with a leg injury and has been downgraded to doubtful to play vs. LSU on Friday.
11/24 4:34pm Ernest Mitchell DL Out Disciplinary Mitchell sat out the week 13 matchup and will miss the upcoming LSU game for violating team rules.

11/24 4:31pm Michael Smith RB Doubtful Hamstring Smith and his bum hamstring are listed as doubtful for this Friday's matchup with LSU. The SEC's all-purpose yardage leader will sorely be missed if he cannot play. After Smith left the week 13 game freshman Dennis Johnson ran three times for 13 yards, junior Brandon Barnett did not have a carry, and freshman De’Anthony Curtis was stuffed at the 1-yard line during Arkansas’ desperation touchdown drive late in the game. Not counting a reverse to a wide receiver and a couple of QB scrambles, the Hogs could merely muster 12 total yards on 16 rushing plays post Smith's injury.
11/24 4:25pm Nathan Dick QB Named Starter None Nathan Dick is expected to start when the Razorbacks take on LSU this Friday.
11/23 5:43pm Casey Dick QB Questionable Concussion Dick was knocked out of the S. Carolina game (11/8) with a concussion but was upgraded to probable for Mississippi State. He did not enter the game however and is questionable for LSU.
11/23 5:40pm Jerico Nelson DB Questionable Knee Safety Jerico Nelson missed the past two games with a knee injury but has been jogging on the sideline at practice. His status for Friday is unknown. His last start was against Tulsa where he started at one of the CB spots.
10/29 8:47am Elton Ford S Out For Year Neck Ford has been lost for the season with a neck injury, coach Bobby Petrino said Monday. Junior Rashaad Johnson is listed 2nd on the depth chart and is the likely recipient of the starting job.

RS freshman Nathan Dick will serve as the backup QB for Saturday’s game against Ole Miss and is expected to keep the job for the immediate future. Dick, who has yet to play this season, is the younger brother of starting QB Casey Dick.
09/09 1:03pm Mitch Petrus OL Out For Year Eligibility Coach Petrino said Monday that guard Mitch Petrus will redshirt this season. A 12-game starter in 2007, Petrus has been practicing but has not dressed for either of the first two games. Petrino has given no specifics about why Petrus isn’t playing. School officials have said there has not been a violation of NCAA rules, which suggests the possibility of academic eligibility being involved.
