Injury updates

Coach Sam Pittman said on Wednesday’s SEC teleconference that defensive tackle Markell Utsey will probably not be recovered from injury enough to play in Saturday’s game in his hometown of Little Rock against ArkansasPine Bluff.

Later, speaking on a video chat with local reporters, Pittman updated by saying Utsey is out. The graduate transfer senior from Little Rock Parkview is likely not to travel for the game.

“We don’t travel guys who aren’t healthy enough to play, so that answer would be no,” Pittman said.

Tight end Trey Knox is questionable after missing time the last couple of weeks with an ankle injury. Knox, who had his first five catches of the season at Ole Miss two weeks ago, including a touchdown, played sparingly last week as tight end Hudson Henry played more reps and had his first two catches of the year behind Blake Kern.

“We’re still looking at Trey Knox to see if … that ankle will be healed up enough,” Pittman said.

The timetable for the returns of offensive tackle Dalton Wagner and Utsey appears to be following the open date when the Razorbacks start preparing for a home game against Mississippi State.

“Other than that I think we’re pretty healthy,” Pittman said.
