FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas Razorbacks tight end Jeremy Patton's ankle injury was not as bad as it first appeared Monday, and the senior could be back at practice within a week, Coach Chad Morris said Tuesday.
"We caught a break right there with Jeremy," Morris said after describing the injury as a bruised ankle. "I know he's excited that it's going to be a limited time being out. Anybody, regardless of whether they play one snap or 101 snaps, it's always great to see a guy get positive results back."
The University of Arkansas is deep at tight end, with juniors Austin Cantrell and Cheyenne O'Grady, and sophomore Grayson Gunter having game experience in addition to Patton.
