Pittman: Gerald could be 'strong leader' for Arkansas
FAYETTEVILLE — Nearly one year ago, Dorian Gerald’s health was in question and his football career was uncertain as he laid in a bed at a local hospital.
In the second quarter of Arkansas’ season opener against Portland State last August, a puzzling injury abruptly ended Gerald’s year. Two days after the game, former Razorbacks coach Chad Morris announced the junior college transfer strained an artery in his neck.
Morris, who labeled the injury “very strange,” added he did not know what the future would hold for Gerald other than he would be on blood thinner and undergo testing over the next several months. It was far too early to say whether he would be able to play football again.
