Marquise Robinson injury update: Sam Pittman explains absence of Arkansas CB
After not appearing this weekend in Stillwater, Sam Pittman has explained the absence of Marquise Robinson.
As Pittman explained during his press conference on Monday, Robinson, the transfer corner for Arkansas, got a stinger during pregame warmups ahead of kickoff against Oklahoma State. That led to a numbness that didn’t go away which caused him to miss the game against the ‘Pokes.
“Yeah, he got a stinger in pregame and went numb,” said Pittman. “You know, a lot of times, that’ll come back pretty fast. It did not.”
“It just was unfortunate,” Pittman said. “Just hit the wrong way and went numb on one side or the other.”

As for how they’ll manage it, the Razorbacks were going to be cautious with him yesterday at practice.
“He’ll be out of practice today,” Pittman noted. “He’ll be in the green but we’ll stay away from him.”
Robinson recorded one deflection in the secondary during the season-opening win for the ‘Hogs.
This comes after a three-year collegiate career at Southwest Mississippi along with South Alabama. In his prior two seasons with the Jaguars, he posted 64 tackles, five deflections, three interceptions, and a fumble recovery in 24 games.
Per On3’s 2024 Transfer Portal Top Players, Robinson was the No. 163 CB and the No. 1,407 overall transfer.
Robinson not playing was a last-minute loss for Arkansas but one that he will eventually return from per Pittman.
“He’s going to be back but that’s what happened,” said Pittman.
Dazmin James suspended for UAB game says Pittman
Dazmin James is suspended for the Razorbacks’ next game against UAB per an announcement by Sam Pittman announced in his press conference.
Pittman added that the suspension was due to a “violation of team rules” and that James will return in Week 4.
The redshirt freshman has not played an offensive snap for the Razorbacks this season. He saw action on special teams in the season-opening win against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Given that, his absence should have minimal impact on the Arkansas game plan outside of a hit to their depth.
