FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas intends to redshirt running back Chase Hayden, according to Razorbacks coach Chad Morris.
“Right now with where we are at with our running back position, he’s already played in his four games,” Morris said Wednesday on the SEC coaches teleconference. “Our plan right now is to try to redshirt him if we can.”
The junior has not played since Arkansas’ Week 4 home loss to San Jose State. He returned one kickoff for 18 yards in the game and was ruled out the following week against Texas A&M (concussion protocol).
Hayden’s name was removed from the depth chart at running back ahead of Saturday’s game against Mississippi State.
