Anthony Hill injury update: Latest revealed on Texas LB on Thursday availability report

The Arkansas Razorbacks are traveling to Austin to take on the Texas Longhorns this Saturday. It’s a classic Southwest Conference matchup now being played in the SEC. It’s also a game, this season, where the Razorbacks are looking to play spoiler.

Coming into the game, Texas is trying to bounce back from its third loss of the season. However, depending on how chaotic the final weeks play out, and if the Longhorns can win out, there is no reason to think they’re completely out of the College Football Playoff race. Arkansas, meanwhile, sits at just 2-8 on the season, and while they won’t be going to a bowl game still have that chance to pull off a major upset. Doing that against a traditional rival is even better.

The first availability report for the week was released on Wednesday, with additional reports coming out throughout the week after that. Here’s a look at the report that both teams released for Thursday.

Arkansas Razorbacks

• DB Quentavius Scandrett – Out
• WR Andy Jean – Out
• WR Monte Harrison – Out
• WR Jalen Brown – Out
• RB AJ Green – Out
• OL Shaq McRoy – Out
• TE Andreas Paaske – Out
• DL David Oke – Out
• RB Braylen Russell – Questionable
• DL Charlie Collins – Questionable

Texas Longhorns

• LB Anthony Hill – Questionable
• WR Ryan Wingo – Probable

Coming into the week, Texas had a couple of major question marks. The most notable of those seemed to be Ryan Wingo. The wide receiver has been dealing with a thumb injury since the Vanderbilt game. That didn’t stop him from playing against Georgia a week ago, and he would be listed as probable on Wednesday’s report. So, it seems he’s in a good spot.

The bigger question for Texas is linebacker Anthony Hill. Earlier in the week, On3’s Inside Texas reported that he’ll miss the Arkansas game. Despite that, the Wednesday availability report showed him as questionable.

It’s a much more extensive list of injury issues for the Arkansas and several players have already been ruled out for the Texas game. That includes some major hits to the offensive side of the ball, with a running back, tight end, offensive lineman, and two wide receivers already ruled out for the game.

Given all of that, running back Braylen Russell is an interesting player to follow. Another running back was initially listed as questionable to start the week. Interim head coach Bobby Petrino would share that the injury occurred in a non-contact drill. However, the exact nature of the injury and how severe it is has yet to be revealed publicly.

Of course, there will be more availability reports coming out in the coming days before the game. Kickoff for that game is currently scheduled for 3:30 p.m. EST in Austin.
