Arkansas Football vs. No. 4 Texas A&M Availability Report
The SEC released the initial player availability report for the Arkansas football team's Week 8 game against No. 4 Texas A&M.
Notable Updates
- Defensive tackles Danny Saili and Danny Oke are listed as out.
- Defensive back Quentavius Scandrett is also listed as out for the second consecutive week.
With the team thin at defensive tackle, Saili and Oke's absence may require defensive end Justus Boone to play inside. Freshman tackle Kevin Oatis logged three snaps against Tennessee.
[Boone is] a guy that has really worked hard and has shown a tremendous amount of toughness," said Arkansas interim coach Bobby Petrino.
Petrino noted that Boone mostly plays at end, but has packages where he goes inside to improve the pass rush.
