Limited plays good for health

FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas scaled way back on its snap count for the final live-tackling scrimmage of training camp Wednesday.

Offensive coordinator Joe Craddock estimated the Razorbacks ran about 80 scripted plays in the 17th practice of camp, with several players held out at tailback, wide receiver and on the offensive line. The closed workout was conducted inside Walker Pavilion as an afternoon thunderstorm hit just as the Razorbacks were wrapping up their stretching.

After a run of injuries and illnesses to wideouts through much of camp, keeping players healthy was a priority with the Razorbacks 10 days out from their season opener against Portland State.
