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.
McFadden suffered an open dislocation of the distal IP joint of his big left toe, according to a 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.
