Arkansas’ depth at the defensive end position has taken a hit over the past few weeks because of injuries.

  Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said this morning that sophomore Damario Ambrose won’t play in Saturday’s game at South Carolina because of a knee injury suffered in last week’s win over Tulsa.

  “Well, he won’t be available for this game,” Petrino said.

  Petrino hasn’t given any specifics about the severity of Ambrose’s injury, and he declined to answer when I asked him if Ambrose will need surgery or if his knee will heal on its own.

  ”We don’t like to talk that much about injuries, particularly when we’re preparing for another game,” Petrino said.

  Along with Ambrose, there is a chance that Arkansas defensive end Adrian Davis could miss his second consecutive game because of a sprained left knee. I’ll know more about Davis’ status after today’s practice.

  Well, that’s it for now. I’ll try to  give an update after practice.
