It’s been a rough week for the Arkansas receivers’ group.

Brandon Martin became the second victim Thursday, injuring his hamstring, Bret Bielema announced on his weekly radio show Thursday night.

Freshman Koilan Jackson suffered an ACL injury Tuesday that will require surgery.

Martin does not have a redshirt available, so he is expected to return at some point this season.

“When he’s ready he’ll get back out there,” Bielema said on his radio show.

Martin, a sophomore transfer from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, was used sparingly in the Razorbacks’ opener against Florida A&M last Thursday.

He was targeted on a pass during a fourth quarter touchdown drive but it was overthrown by backup quarterback Cole Kelley.
