Hogs in full gear after long hiatus

FAYETTEVILLE -- The Arkansas Razorbacks hit a milestone Tuesday on the long climb back from the coronavirus pause to a possible season opener Sept. 26 against No. 4 Georgia.

In practice No. 5 of training camp, the University of Arkansas donned full pads for live-tackling periods for the first time since the Hogs wrapped up a 2-10 season with a 24-14 loss to Missouri on Nov. 29.

That's a 270-day gap between live-tackling sessions.

First-year Coach Sam Pittman said the Razorbacks had limited live tackling in team periods and a few tackle drills on the first day tackling to the ground was allowed by the NCAA.
