Arkansas WR Keon Hatcher out 'at least six weeks'

Arkansas will be without its leading receiver for an extended period of time.

Razorbacks head coach Bret Bielema announced Monday that senior Keon Hatcher is out “at least six weeks” due to a broken foot suffered in the team’s home loss to Toledo over the weekend.

Hatcher, who was injured in the fourth quarter on Saturday, leads the Razorbacks with 13 catches for 198 yards and two touchdowns through two games this season.

According to the Associated Press, Bielema said a medical redshirt for the season is a possibility if Hatcher needs more than six weeks to recover. His surgery is scheduled for Monday.

With Hatcher out, junior slot receiver Drew Morgan moved to Hatcher’s starting role on the outside on this week’s depth chart opposite sophomore Jared Cornelius. In accordance with Morgan’s move to the outside, redshirt freshman JoJo Robinson is listed as a starter in the slot.

Hatcher is the second senior to go down with a serious injury on offense. Running back Jonathan Williams suffered a left foot injury during an August scrimmage and will miss the entire season.

The Razorbacks (1-1) host Texas Tech (2-0) on Saturday night.
