Auburn RB Kerryon Johnson goes through warmups, may play against Arkansas
Published:
Auburn’s two-headed rushing attack might return to full strength against Arkansas.
Sophomore running back Kerryon Johnson is going through warmups, and it appears he will play after two weeks of uncertainty. He injured his right ankle in a 38-14 win against Mississippi State two weeks ago and had an open date to recover.

Kamryn Pettway will start in his place, so it’s uncertain how much action Johnson will see. He’s the Tigers’ leading rusher with 538 yards and six touchdowns, but Pettway isn’t far behind with 505 yards and four scores.
No. 21 Auburn (4-2, 2-1) surely would like to see both running backs at full speed when it hosts the No. 17 Razorbacks (5-2, 1-2) at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN.
