Mississippi State QB Will Rogers sidelined, Mike Wright to lead against Arkansas
Mississippi State quarterback Will Rogers will be out due to a shoulder injury, with Mike Wright set to make his first start for the team against Arkansas. Rogers, a record-setting senior, had started in 38 consecutive games and is the career leader in passing yards and touchdowns for Mississippi State. Wright, a transfer from Vanderbilt, has played in all six games this season and will step in as the starting quarterback. There is no timetable for Rogers' return, and his status will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis.
