Below is the final availability report update of the week ahead of Arkansas' game against Mississippi State, which will kick off at 11:45 a.m. CT at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, Mississippi:

Notes:
~ Cornerback Jaylon Braxton and kicker Kyle Ramsey are out again this week against Mississippi State. Braxton has been dealing with a knee injury, while Ramsey is expected to be out for some time.
~ Running back Ja'Quinden Jackson reaggravated an ankle injury against the Tigers last week and is unsurprisingly listed as "doubtful" on Wednesday's report.
~ The only other player listed on the report is running back Rodney Hill, who has missed the last two games and didn't play against LSU due to a knee injury.
