FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Darren McFadden, a Razorback tailback chosen for first-team All-SEC honors, has undergone surgery on a joint in his toe and is "doubtful" for Arkansas' season opener against Southern California on Sept. 2, coach Houston Nutt said Saturday.


According to a police report, McFadden was involved in a disturbance at 4:20 a.m. Saturday at Palace the Club, a Little Rock private club. When officers arrived, a fight was taking place in the parking lot while a crowd watched. McFadden told officers he didn't know the person with whom he was fighting, the report said.


The report said McFadden was taken to University Hospital for treatment.
McFadden suffered an open dislocation of the distal IP joint of his big left toe, according to a Razorbacks news release. The sophomore underwent surgery early Saturday morning in Little Rock to repair the capsule surrounding a joint. Also, a small pin was inserted in the joint to stabilize it.
Arkansas trainer Dean Weber said McFadden will not practice for several weeks and is unlikely to compete against USC.


McFadden rushed for 1,113 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, becoming the seventh freshman in Southeastern Conference history to run for 1,000 yards.

Sounds like he should be ready for training camp in Cincy next year...

Why does outside life always have to ruin good football players? Hopefully he can come back and play strong this season, and show no ill effects from that injury.

Do they have anyone else worth starting?
