Jean-Baptiste was out with a foot injury and has missed a lot of work, but does play a position where he could help in time. He came to Arkansas from Pompano Beach (Fla.) Coconut Creek High School.

He played in the 2016 International Bowl in AT&T Stadium in Dallas. He recorded three tackles and a sack in the USA's 33-0 victory over Canada.

Two wide receivers out with injuries much of the preseason, senior Jared Cornelius and sophomore T.J. Hammonds, both were in green jerseys on Monday and practiced some. It appears a decision could be made on Tuesday if they play or not on Thursday, but it also could come on the day of the game.
