GREENLAW, CORNELIUS

set to return for Arkansas.

FAYETTEVIL­LE — University of Arkansas linebacker Dre Greenlaw and receiver Jared Cornelius both said Tuesday that they expected to be in the lineup Saturday against LSU after recovering from ankle injuries.

Greenlaw, who has two ailing ankles, played only briefly in the early stages of the Razorbacks’ 45-31 loss to Vanderbilt two weeks ago, while Cornelius sat out the entire game.

Both Greenlaw and Cornelius were among the Razorbacks in green limited-contact jerseys at Tuesday’s Cornelius

practice. Asked if he’s good for Saturday, Greenlaw said, “Yeah I am, most definitely.”

He also said his ankle is still sore.

“Luckily the bye week came just in time,” he said. “I was able to heal up a little bit. It’s on the right track of healing up. I’ve just got to keep pushing it and keep playing.”

Cornelius’ ankle injury adds to the long list of issues — broken arm, Achilles tendon, back — that have knocked him out of playing time in his career.

“I feel great,” Cornelius said. “I’ve kind of had an ankle bothering me for this past week and I just knew it would be a thing that would take some time. The bye week really helped me. I got moving around today, a little bit Sunday and I feel good.”

Cornelius has five catches for 53 yards, none since the Texas A&M game on Sept. 29, in what has been a trying season personally and from a team perspectiv­e.

“It’s been tough, especially in the receiver room,” Cornelius said. “I think, you know, what we thought for the offense would be a little different. But it’s part of being a part of the team. You’ve got to do your part, whether it’s catching 50 balls or making 50 blocks downfield. We’ve just got to help the team out as much as you can.”
