FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas enters Mississippi State game week in a wait-and-see situation with the health of quarterback KJ Jefferson.
Jefferson, the Razorbacks’ second-year starter from Sardis, Miss., was removed from last Saturday’s 49-26 home loss to then-No. 2 Alabama after he “hit his head” on the playing field in the fourth quarter, Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said after the game. He was soon replaced by Cade Fortin, a backup and transfer from South Florida.
