FAYETTEVILLE — Georgia Southern is getting starting quarterback Justin Tomlin back from academic suspension, and the Eagles might have injured tailback J.D. King in the mix against Arkansas on Saturday.
A fifth-year senior, King is recovering from a torn anterior cruciate knee ligament suffered in Week 7 last season, when he was one of the Sun Belt Conference’s top rushers.
Eagles Coach Chad Lunsford said King worked a little Sunday.
“We’ve been a little bit more careful with him, did not want to put him in a situation where we mess it up and he doesn’t have an opportunity to play this year,” Lunsford said.
