Kentucky Football Injury Updates for Week 4

Kentucky has stayed moderately healthy to this point in the season, and they made it through the Georgia game without anyone being added to the injury report. As they take on the Ohio Bobcats this week, where do the Wildcats fall with injuries? And let's also take a look at the injury report for the Bobcats.

Kentucky Injuries

Before the Georgia game, Head Coach Mark Stoops listed 11 players on his availability report. Two of them could play through the nagging injuries, and the other nine remained out for the entirety of the game.

Offensive lineman Gerald Mincey and defensive back Max Hairston were the two praised by Stoops for fighting through pain and gritting it out on the field for the Georgia game.

As the tweet above shows, Stoops has already declared RB Chip Trayanum out for this week. Including Trayanum, here is a list of the nine players that were declared out last week:

1. Chip Trayanum - RB
2. Jason Patterson - RB
3. Jager Burton - OL
4. Courtland Ford - OL
5. Darrion Henry-Young - DL
6. Tavion Gadson - DL
7. Josaih Hayes - DL
8. Hardley Gilmore IV - WR
9. Devin Smith - LB

Will any of them be back for this week? As typical of a college football head coach, Stoops didn't get too deep into that, but he did mention that Patterson and Burton have a chance of being back.

It would be essential to get Patterson back, as the Wildcats are dangerously short on runningbacks. They basically only had two available against Georgia in Demie Sumo-Karngbaye
and Jamarion Wilcox. The game featured a rush by Anthony Brown-Stephens, a wide receiver for the Wildcats.

Ohio Injuries

The Bobcats are dealing with much more injuries than the Wildcats. They have already declared 15 players OUT for Saturday's contest, with five more listed as questionable. There are currently none listed as probable. Depth may be a real issue for Ohio in this game.
