It looks unlikely Arkansas' leading rusher will play this week after taking a big hit during the Razorbacks' game against Auburn.
Devwah Whaley (concussion) is doubtful to play in the Southwest Classic, Arkansas coach Chad Morris said Wednesday. Asked on Monday whether the junior running back was in concussion protocol, Morris did not confirm or deny, stating only that he would be able to talk more about the injury later in the week.
Whaley was injured during the third quarter of the Razorbacks' 34-3 loss to the Tigers on Saturday. He was hit almost immediately after taking a pitch from quarterback Ty Storey, and slammed to the ground by Auburn cornerback Jamel Dean.
