Arkansas senior WR Keon Hatcher missed last week’s win over Alcorn State after injuring a hamstring the previous week against Texas A&M.
With a matchup against No. 1 Alabama looming this weekend, though, Hatcher is on track to get back on the field.
Senior WR Drew Morgan is confident Hatcher will be on the field Saturday, according to WholeHogSports.com:
“He’ll be ready to go,” fellow senior receiver Drew Morgan said.
Wide receivers coach Michael Smith said he’s excited for the possibility of having a full receiving corps against Alabama:
“The last two years, if Keon’s ready to go, this’ll be the first time that we’ll go in with our whole allotment of receivers,” Smith said. “We’ve never been afforded that because of injuries. But that’s a part of the game. Younger guys had to step up. I hope to God he’s out there playing because he helps us and makes us better.”
Alabama and Arkansas are set to kick off at 6 p.m. Central time in Fayetteville. The game can be seen on ESPN.
