— Arkansas cornerback Cornelius Floyd likely won't play Saturday against Toledo.

Floyd sat out last weekend's game against UTEP with a hamstring pull suffered in preseason practice. Razorbacks coach Bret Bielema said it would take a "big comeback" for Floyd to play before the Sept. 19 game against Texas Tech.

Floyd played in nine games last season, mostly on special teams. He recorded four tackles and broke up one pass.

Reserve tight end Alex Voelzke is expected to play against Toledo after sitting out the opener with a back injury.

Bielema said Voelzke will travel with the team to Little Rock and wear No. 88 in honor of former Arkansas player Garrett Uekman, who died in 2011. Voelzke is the recipient of a memorial scholarship bearing Uekman's name.
