Arkansas WR Cornelius out following broken left arm

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) Arkansas coach Bret Bielema says wide receiver Jared Cornelius suffered a ''double fracture'' of his left arm in a loss to Texas Tech, and he's unsure when the sophomore will return following surgery.

Cornelius was injured following a 34-yard catch in the first quarter of the Razorbacks 35-24 loss to the Red Raiders, immediately walking off the field and being led to the locker room.

He's the third Arkansas wide receiver who has been injured and will miss significant time in the last two weeks, following foot injuries to Keon Hatcher and Cody Hollister last week.

Cornelius had 18 catches for 212 yards last season as a freshman, and he's fourth on the Razorbacks this season with seven catches for 150 yards. Arkansas faces No. 14 Texas A&M this week.
