Arkansas went through its second practice of game week on Tuesday, continuing preparations for Rice on Saturday. Here are some notes and observations from the 15-minute portion of the workout open to reporters:
• Players who were in green no-contact tops: TE Blake Kern, DB Zach Zimos, S Jalen Catalon, DB Myles Slusher, DB Kevin Compton and DB Jermaine Hamilton-Jordan. Sam Pittman sounded optimistic that the players in green would be available this week, particularly the top-tier guys.
• Dominique Johnson, who has seen time this month at both running back and tight end, was a tight end with the No.
