QB Prospect Ryan Mallet breaks his foot

Fayetteville, AR (Sports Network) -

Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett suffered a broken bone in his left foot on Wednesday and will miss spring practice.

Mallett is expected to be sidelined for three to four months after breaking the bone during conditioning drills in the morning.

"It is unfortunate since Ryan works extremely hard and has made a commitment to the Razorbacks," said team head coach Bobby Petrino. "I am confident in our athletic trainers and medical staff and believe they are the best in the country. Ryan is a strong competitor who I know will put all his effort into overcoming his injury and continuing to lead this team."

Mallett finished the 2009 season with 3,624 passing yards and 30 touchdowns while matching or exceeding 16 school records. The former Michigan standout recently chose to forego the 2010 NFL Draft and return for his junior season in Fayetteville.

It must be contagious ... Demaryius Thomas broke his today too. At least Mallett should be in good shape by the beginning of the season.

and there is another:

@Adam_Schefter:

Anyone else going to break foot? RT @ZachKleinWSB: Georgia Tech's Bay Bay Thomas, a projected 1st round pick, also broke his left foot today

Well then this just shows that these guys are not worth a 1st are second rd pick because they are injury prone now. They are aleast worth a 3rd. But steal them with a 2nd might be good. But no team will waste a 1st on them now. I do feel for them.

Just what are they doing with these feet...?

He transferred his freshman year from Michigan after LLoyd Carr announced he was retiring. He had to sit out a year. The kid has a huge arm and very accurate.

Jake Locker is hoping he doesn't recover well.
