Rocket Sanders exits Liberty Bowl vs. Kansas early with injury

Published:
Injuries are starting to mount for Arkansas against Kansas.
Starting offensive lineman Ty’Kieast Crawford had to be stretchered off the field earlier and now star RB Rocket Sanders has left the game. The Razorbacks don’t seem to be too fazed, though, as they have broken off back-to-back touchdowns to take a 17-7 lead over the Kansas Jayhawks.
No update has been given on Sanders’ status as of now.

Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson connected with Matt Landers for their first touchdown of the day just a few plays later.

Sanders is backed up by AJ Green, who has just 1 rush for 9 yards so far Wednesday. He is plenty capable in the interim, though, with 313 yards and 2 touchdowns this season on the ground for the razorbacks.
