Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said quarterback KJ Jefferson is OK after he exited with an injury late in the fourth quarter of the Razorbacks' 52-35 victory at BYU on Saturday.
Pittman said Jefferson suffered a stinger to his neck when he dove for the first-down marker on a third-down run with less than three minutes remaining. He laid on the field for a short time before he walked off on his own power.
"KJ is fine," Pittman told the Razorback Sports Network post-game show. "He went down and he just had a little stinger in the neck."
Pittman said Jefferson could have re-entered the game if needed, but back-up quarterback Malik Hornsby took the team's final four offensive snaps.
Jefferson told RSN it was the first time he had experienced the injury.
"It kind of caught me off guard a little bit," Jefferson said. "In all the years I've been playing football I've never had a stinger, so when I did, it just kind of shocked me a little bit."
Jefferson passed for 367 yards and a career-high five touchdowns at BYU in his first game since he injured his head late during a game against Alabama on Oct. 1.
Arkansas is not scheduled to play again until Oct. 29 at Auburn.
