FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — There wasn't much that needed to be changed on the depth chart this week as Arkansas decided to hit the old C&P button on their keyboard.
In recent weeks, the depth chart that was released for Week 1 has gone relatively unchanged except for the fact that former wide receiver Jelani Watkins' name is no longer included. He left to focus completely on track two weeks ago, which leaves Arkansas with Jamari Watkins and Ismael Cisse splitting snaps.
As for the offensive line, center Caden Kitler has been playing with a foot injury that was not disclosed prior to the Tennessee game. Backup Kash Courtney came in for relief to begin the second half and Arkansas was instantly able to run the ball more effectively than at any point this season.
However, it appears that Kitler should be fine and remain in a starting role come Saturday.
