Hollister Underwent Surgery

Thursday, Sept. 17

Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema told John Taylor of College Football Talk that Hollister suffered a broken foot during Tuesday's practice and underwent surgery to repair it on Wednesday. 

No timetable for a return has been announced.

Hollister joins Razorbacks top receiver Keon Hatcher on the injury list as Arkansas' pass-catching group is further depleted. Hatcher also suffered a foot injury and had surgery, according to Fox Sports' Bruce Feldman, and is set to miss at least six weeks. 

A junior, Hollister looked to be well on his way to surpassing last year's numbers. He recorded four receptions for 65 yards in two games compared to his 13 catches last season. 

Arkansas' aerial game will now be heavily reliant on the likes of Hunter Henry, Jared Cornelius and Drew Morgan, all of whom have over 100 yards receiving in two games combined apiece. 

The timing of these wide receiver injuries is less than ideal for Arkansas, who is coming off of a 16-12 loss against unranked Toledo despite passing for over 400 yards on the day. The loss sent the Razorbacks tumbling out of the Top 25 rankings after coming in at No. 18.

Now without a depth man in Hollister, opposing defenses have one fewer target to worry about and can further focus on the trio of Henry, Cornelius and Morgan. Arkansas has to find a way to put points on the board if it has any hopes of re-entering the Top 25 polls. And it'll need a passing game that can get in the end zone in order to do so.
