Just got back from practice a minute ago. Here are some quick observations from the first 20 minutes of practice, which were open to the media:

Running back Michael Smith (hamstring) and wide receiver Jarius Wright (concussion) were taking part in practice. Wright was catching passes with the rest of the wide receivers, and Smith was going through position drills with the other tailbacks.

As Wright practiced, fellow wide receiver Joe Adams stood nearby and watched. Adams has been sidelined since suffering what Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said was “mild stroke.” The sophomore was wearing his jersey, shorts and a red hat, and when the receivers started running routes, Adams stood a few yards away to mimic a defensive back. The receivers would have to run past him.

Adams’ status for the remainder of the season remains uncertain. Petrino said the sophomore has undergone tests since suffering his stroke early last week, but there are still a lot of questions involving Adams’ health.
