It appears Arkansas outside linebacker Jamario Bell is back with the team and is at least practicing some after suffering a foot injury back in August during preseason camp.

Bell ,a 6-5, 258-pound redshirt sophomore, was one of several in a long line of linebackers who suffered a foot injury just over a year ago. Linebacker Dre Greenlaw broke his foot last season against Alabama on Oct. 8, 2016 and suffered another break in his return game against Virginia Tech.

Bell came to Arkansas as a highly regarded 4-star recruit. He started off at defensive end but was later moved to tight end. Not long after the Razorbacks switched to a 3-4 defense, Bell moved back to defense to play outside linebacker.

Linebacker Alexy Jean-Baptiste broke his foot in the spring, and both Bell and walk-on linebacker Josh Harris each suffered a break in camp.

Harris was back out with the team in full gear for the warmups prior to the Auburn game but did not play.

Jean-Baptiste has not played this season and has not tweeted anything since August. Jean-Baptiste’s injury was initially reported to be a four-month recovery back in April. Obviously, some type of update is needed on Jean-Baptiste.

He redshirted in 2016, so he wouldn’t be sitting out for that reason. He was running as the second team RAZOR behind Randy Ramsey last spring.
