Mark Stoops likes to play coy when discussing injuries. He opened the week by sharing the Kentucky Wildcats were “banged up.” With just a few hours until kickoff, we now know the Kentucky head coach wasn’t exaggerating. Take a closer look at the final injury report to see who’s preparing to play Saturday night at Kroger Field.

Jager Burton — OUT

While most fans were focused on the penalty flags, Burton was limping through an injury. Ryan Lemond reports he will miss Saturday’s game against Missouri. It’s unclear how long the injury may linger. The Lexington native started in 19 consecutive games.
