Arkansas football injury report | Running back Braylen Russell out vs LSU

A key offensive weapon won’t play for Arkansas football against LSU on Saturday, Nov. 15.

On the final SEC Availability Report of the week, the Razorbacks (2-7, 0-5 SEC) listed sophomore running back Braylen Russell as out. Russell backs up Mike Washington, but he’s been productive in the No. 2 role with 286 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 55 carries.

Running back AJ Green is also listed as out, meaning Rodney Hill should get reps behind Washington.

Defensive end Charlie Collins will be a game-time decision. He sustained a knee injury in the loss to Mississipi State, and Bobby Petrino was skeptical that Collins would be available to face the Tigers (5-4, 2-4), but there’s still a chance the sophomore will feature in the Battle for the Golden Boot.

Safety Larry Worth III is suspended for the first half after committing a targeting penalty in the third quarter of the Hogs’ most recent game.

LSU will be without starting quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. Michael Van Buren will get his first start as a Tiger. He started against Arkansas last season while he was at Mississippi State.
