Arkansas defensive back Simeon Blair (15) tackles South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler (7), Saturday, September 10, 2022 during the second quarter of a football game at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE — For a second consecutive season, Arkansas must play without its top defensive back in All-SEC safety Jalen Catalon.
But as the Razorbacks showed last season in finishing 9-4 and this season in starting 2-0, the secondary has other players it can rely on.
Catalon suffered what proved to be a season-ending shoulder injury early in the third quarter in this season’s opener against Cincinnati that will require surgery.
