It was not good start to padded practices for Trey Flowers as the starting defensive end left today’s practice with an apparent injury.
The Arkansas alum sustained the injury during a goal line drill where he collided with defensive tackle Malcom Brown.
The injury is not a lower body ailment and is not deemed to be serious as Flowers did indeed walk off the field under his own power with just a towel on his face.
Different team insiders who were on the field detailed the events that unfolded with the injury.
