Auburn coach Alex Golesh said Monday that Koger ran that morning and that the Tigers hope to have him back for Saturday against Arkansas.

“He ran this morning. We're hoping to have them back. I'll have a way better idea on Wednesday,” Golesh said Monday.

Koger’s availability could change Auburn’s lineup for Saturday, but his position, injury and expected role remain unspecified. He has not been confirmed to play.

Auburn is 4-4 after consecutive losses to LSU and Ole Miss. Arkansas is 3-5 after losing to Missouri 34-10, giving the Tigers a chance to get back on track in the matchup.

Golesh said Wednesday would give him a clearer read on Koger’s status. Until then, Monday’s run keeps Koger in the conversation for Auburn’s lineup without establishing that he will play.
