The SEC has released the initial player availability report for the Arkansas football team's Week 8 game against No. 4 Texas A&M.
The most notable updates for the Razorbacks (2-4, 0-2 SEC) include defensive tackles Danny Saili and Danny Oke being listed as out, along with defensive back Quentavius Scandrett, who is out for the second consecutive week.
"[Boone is] a guy that has really worked hard and has shown a tremendous amount of toughness," Arkansas interim coach Bobby Petrino said Monday.
With the team thin at defensive tackle, Saili and Oke's absence may require defensive end Justus Boone to play inside, as he did against Tennessee. Freshman tackle Kevin Oatis also logged three snaps against the Vols.
