Caution exercised

FAYETTEVILLE -- A hush settled over Walker Pavilion early in Saturday's spring practice finale for the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Tailback Rawleigh Williams, the Razorbacks 1,360-yard rusher in 2016, was down on the field after spinning to the turf during a nontackling run drill.

Sophomore defensive end McTelvin Agim and Williams made light contact as Williams fell to the ground, and Agim heard Williams say: "I can't move."

Medical personnel rushed to Williams' side, and he stayed down, bringing back memories of the time Williams went down at Reynolds Razorbacks Stadium against Auburn in 2015.

Williams lost feeling in his extremities after a hit that day, and he was carted off the field and needed surgery to repair a disc high in his neck that had come close to severing his spinal cord.
