From HogBlog.com:
Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said receiver Joe Adams was sidelined today because of a “mild stroke” he suffered last week.
That’s right. He said a mild stroke.
“It’s just something we had to deal with all week long,” Petrino said. “He’s doing really well. We were very concerned about him. But he’s doing great. And I don’t know what the diagnosis is, what the near future holds, but he’s in great hands and our trainers and our doctors did an excellent job.”
Petrino said the Razorbacks aren’t exactly sure when he suffered the stroke, but guessed it may have been Monday. Remarkably, Adams practiced Tuesday and Wednesday. Adams spent part of the week in Little Rock undergoing tests, but was with the team today.
Adams stood on the sideline wearing his jersey. He left the field at the end of the game and had a smile on his face.
Scary stuff. Back in '07, Joe committed to SC but ended up flipping his commitment to Arkansas on signing day to stay closer to home. SC recruited him as a cornerback but he's currently playing receiver at Ark and doing well. Wish him a speedy recovery.
