Fayetteville, Ark. – Thursday afternoon Arkansas Razorback head coach John L. Smith let the media know that senior quarterback Tyler Wilson has been cleared to play against Rutgers on Saturday.

Wilson has missed the last six quarters of play on the field due to a concussion suffered against UL-Monroe. Since Wilson’s injury the Razorbacks have dropped out of the AP Top 25 Poll where they were once ranked as high as No. 8 and had a historic in-conference loss to No. 1 Alabama 52-0.

The Razorbacks face the Scarlet Knights Saturday at 6 p.m. CT at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
