Sam Pittman provided an update Wednesday on the status of quarterback Taylen Green ahead of the Week 8 game against LSU. The Arkansas quarterback’s status remains up in the air after a bye week in which he has had over a week to recover from a knee injury.
“(Taylen is) still not full speed yet, but we certainly think there’s a possibility that he can get there. We’ll have to wait and see there. We have two more practices and a walk, but have been encouraged about his progression.”
The good news for Arkansas is that Green has been practicing and appears to be making progress.
“Taylen practiced,” Pittman said on the SEC coach’s teleconference. “First was a walkthrough, which he would be practicing whether he was healthy or not, you know, in that. He’s practiced each day.”

Green has been effective for the Razorbacks to this point in the season, currently 107-for-189 (56.6%) passing for 1,502 yards. He has 5 touchdowns and has picked up 326 yards on the ground.
Whether or not Green is good to go on Saturday as the Razorbacks prepare to face the Tigers at 7 p.m. ET in Fayetteville. If not, the team is expected to continue rolling with Malachi Singleton at quarterback.
