Arkansas went through its ninth day of preseason practice on Monday, two days after the team’s first scrimmage of training camp. Here are a few notes and observations from the open portion of practice:
• Players I did not see fully dressed out today: Running backs Trelon Smith and AJ Green, punter Sam Loy, linebacker Deon Edwards and offensive lineman Marcus Henderson. Green was present but did not have on a helmet or pads.
• A scout from the Washington Football Team was in attendance.
• Got to see a little bit of 1-on-1 work as well. Some of the notable plays:
Treylon Burks beat Joe Foucha twice on go routes
Devin Bush broke up a pass intended for Warren Thompson
Bush later won a rep against Tyson Morris, forcing an incompletion
Ketron Jackson beat Myles Slusher on a crossing route
Khari Johnson forced an incompletion against Jaedon Wilson
Darin Turner won a 50-50 ball against Nick Turner
John David White beat Foucha (end zone) and Hudson Clark for catches

• With the first-team offense, KJ Jefferson ran the ball once, threw incomplete for Trey Knox then hit Raheim Sanders in the flat. In a scrimmage setting, Tre Williams probably would’ve been credited with a sack on the pass to Sanders.
• Malik Hornsby also ran once, handed to Josh Oglesby for a short run up the middle, threw a pass that Bryce Stephens couldn’t hang on to (might give Malik Chavis a PBU on the play) then threw low for Ketron Jackson.
• Kade Renfro ran with the 3s, handing off to Javion Hunt once, hitting Warren Thompson on a slant and Harper Cole on a deep ball with Khari Johnson and Kevin Compton in coverage. Chris Paul might’ve been given a sack in a scrimmage prior to the throw.
