O'Grady suspended for Arkansas game vs. Mississippi State

Arkansas tight end C.J. O'Grady scores a touchdown during a game against Auburn on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2019, in Fayetteville.

— Arkansas tight end Cheyenne O’Grady was suspended for the Razorbacks' 54-24 loss to Mississippi State on Saturday.

Following the game, Arkansas coach Chad Morris did not offer a reason for O'Grady's suspension. He said he would speak with O'Grady on Sunday.

O’Grady is the Razorbacks’ leading receiver this season with 33 receptions for 372 yards and three touchdowns. His touchdown reception at Alabama last week was the 12th of his career, the most by an Arkansas tight end.

On Saturday, O'Grady tweeted a thank you to fans, but offered no context about his status with the team.

"Beyond blessed to say I had the privilege and opportunity to be a Razorback. I was actually given the chance to live my dream and I will forever be thankful for it," O'Grady wrote.

Saturday's game was the second missed game this season for O'Grady, who did not play in the Razorbacks' season opener against Portland State after undergoing an offseason surgery.

This is at least the third career suspension for O'Grady by two separate coaching staffs. He missed two games last season while serving a suspension for an unspecified violation of team rules, and while redshirting he was suspended from the team in 2015 following an arrest for suspicion of DWI.
