Pittman assists, doesn't lead offensive line in assistant's absence

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman has spent most of the practice sessions open to media this week working with the Razorbacks’ offensive linemen.

But Pittman, who has developed a reputation as one of college football’s best line coaches over the course of two-plus decades, said he is not working exclusively with that position group while assistant coach Brad Davis sits out of practice. Davis, the offensive line coach, has missed at least two workouts with what a team spokesperson described Monday as a pre-existing condition.

Pittman said Tuesday that Davis should return to practice within the next week, perhaps as early as the team’s next practice scheduled for Friday.
