  Nearly one year ago, Dorian Gerald's health was in question and his football career was uncertain as he laid in a bed at a local hospital. In the second quarter of Arkansas' season opener against Portland State last August, a puzzling injury abruptly ended Gerald's year. Two days after the game, former Razorbacks coach Chad Morris announced the junior college transfer strained an artery in his neck. Morris, who labeled the injury "very strange," added he did not know what the future would hold for Gerald other than he would be on blood thinner and undergo testing over the next several months. It was far too early to say whether he would be able to play football again.

Gerald, though, was deadset on returning to the field, writing in a tweet that he would be "back next year better than ever." Next year has arrived. And based on what he has been seen in offseason conditioning and team walkthroughs in recent weeks, Arkansas football coach Sam Pittman is a believer in the defensive end. "He is a very vocal guy and has been working his tail off, so I've been really pleased with him," Pittman said of Gerald on Thursday during a Zoom conference with reporters. "And I will be when we put pads on, but we haven't yet. But I promise I will be. "He's too talented for us not to be." - Northwest Arkansas Times
