Arkansas DB Kani Walker Carted Off Field After Suffering Apparent Head Injury vs. Ole Miss
Kani Walker, a first-year Arkansas player, was injured after an inadvertent knee to his helmet and transported to a hospital; he had seven tackles and three pass defenses this season.
- On September 13, 2025, Arkansas cornerback Kani Walker was carted off the field after suffering a head injury during a football game at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi.
- On the first play of the fourth quarter, Walker was accidentally struck in the back of his helmet by a teammate's knee, leading to several minutes of care from team staff and emergency medical personnel who eventually removed his helmet.
- Walker, who transferred to Arkansas from Oklahoma this season and has contributed seven tackles along with defending three passes in the initial games, was taken to a nearby hospital as a safety measure but demonstrated movement in all limbs.
- Making his first start in place of the injured Austin Simmons, Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss completed 13 of 17 attempts for 231 yards and scored two rushing touchdowns, leading the Rebels to a 41-35 victory over Arkansas.
- Walker’s injury and the Rebels’ victory suggest lasting impacts on Arkansas’s defensive lineup while Ole Miss improved to 3-0 and 2-0 in SEC play under coach Lane Kiffin.
