Arkansas DB Kani Walker Carted Off Field With Confirmed Concussion

Arkansas defensive back Kani Walker suffered a frightening head injury during the Razorbacks' game against Ole Miss when he collided with a teammate, resulting in a knee hitting the back of his neck. He was motionless on the field for several minutes before being carefully loaded onto a stretcher and transported to Baptist Memorial Hospital for further evaluation. Walker, a redshirt senior and Oklahoma transfer, showed movement in all extremities and gave a thumbs up to the crowd as he was taken off the field, indicating he was alert. Arkansas coach Sam Pittman later confirmed that Walker had been released from the hospital and rejoined the team for the trip back home. The injury occurred early in the fourth quarter, and players from both teams gathered around Walker to offer support during the tense moments. Walker has been a key player for Arkansas this season, recording multiple tackles and pass breakups in his starts.
