FAYETTEVILLE — Defensive end Tevin Beanum is not listed on the Razorbacks' 105-man preseason roster.

Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said the redshirt junior may rejoin the team prior to the season. He said Beanum's absence is related to his not practicing with the team in the spring for a reason that has not been disclosed.

"He has a situation he needs to get control of," Bielema said Thursday ahead of the team's first practice of the preseason. "It's a very unique and individual thing with him."

Bielema indicated Beanum could join the team after the first day of class at the university on Aug. 22. The Razorbacks are scheduled to open the season against Louisiana Tech on Sept. 3.

Beanum signed with Arkansas out of Forrest City in 2013. He played in all 13 games last season and started eight times. He finished the season with 24 tackles, 2 sacks and also had a fumble recovery.
