FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas football did not list starting quarterback Taylen Green on the SEC availability report released Wednesday night, meaning Green is set to playSaturday against No. 8 LSU (6 p.m., ESPN).
Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman said on Wednesday’s SEC teleconference that he was encouraged by Green’s progress in practice this week, but the quarterback hasn’t yet reached ‘full speed’.
Green suffered a bone bruise to his knee early in the fourth quarter against Tennessee, taking a hit from defensive lineman Omar Norman-Lott after delivering a 30-yard pass to Andrew Armstrong.
Only two Razorbacks were on the report, with running back Rodney Hill doubtful and defensive back Jaylon Braxton out.

This is the first year the SEC is requiring its schools to provide public reports on the availability of student-athletes to participate in conference games. The protocol stretches across football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball and baseball.
There will be updated reports provided Thursday and Friday night, with a final update released 90 minutes before game time.
