FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) -Arkansas defensive lineman Ernest Mitchell has undergone an arthroscopic knee operation after an injury in last weekend’s loss to Texas.
Coach Bobby Petrino said Wednesday he wasn’t sure how long Mitchell would be out.
“We are still hopeful that he could return at some point this season,” Petrino said.
The Razorbacks lost to Texas 52-10. They host No. 12 Florida on Saturday.
Mitchell’s injury is a blow to a defense that lacks experience. Mitchell, a senior, has 13 tackles and a half-sack on the season. He had 65 tackles and 3.5 sacks as a junior.
