CB Lorando Johnson announcement that he is leaving Arkansas Razorbacks now another significant issue for team….

The Arkansas Razorbacks might have tailback Raheim “Rocket” Sanders back in action as they prepare to head to his home state this weekend.

University of Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman said he anticipated a return to practice on Monday for Sanders as he continues to recover from swelling in his left knee that has hampered him since the season opener.

“I anticipate him practicing today, but how much he can do I don’t know,” Pittman said.

Sanders missed three consecutive games after Arkansas thumped Western Carolina 56-13 in the opener, returned for games against Texas A&M and Ole Miss, then went back on the shelf for the last two games. Sanders spent part of that time rehabbing in Texas.

The 6-2, 242-pound junior, who was an All-SEC selection after rushing for 1,443 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, was on the sidelines for the Razorbacks’ 7-3 home loss to Mississippi State two weeks ago.
