FAYETTEVILLE -- University of Arkansas Coach Chad Morris said he expects both tight end Jeremy Patton and defensive tackle Briston Guidry to return this season after both players had surgery this week.
Patton's surgery was on his ankle, which he bent badly the wrong way while trying to plant and catch a first-quarter pass in Saturday's 24-17 loss to Texas A&M.
"We anticipate him being back," Morris said.
Morris was asked whether the loosened redshirt rules might help Patton get another year of eligibility, even though he was injured after playing two plays into his fifth game.
