UK gets good, bad news on injury front

According to a release from the school, linebacker Micah Johnson and defensive tackle Shane McCord are expected to be available for Kentucky’s game Saturday against Mississippi State.

However, cornerback Trevard Lindley remains doubtful for the game.

Lindley was a preseason All-American candidate, but has been hobbled by a high-ankle sprain he suffered on Oct. 3.

“Micah was able to get through practice today, limited, but I think he’ll be available for some action,” head coach Rich Brooks said. “We won’t start Micah but he should be available to come in unless he has a real setback from what he did today.

“Trevard did a little bit (in practice) but I doubt that he’s going to be quite ready. We’ll suit him up (Saturday) and judge him during the pregame warm-ups whether he’ll be available or not.

Shane McCord should be able to go. He’s not 100 percent but should be able to go.”

Johnson suffered a strained MCL last weekend, while McCord has been dealing with a shin injury.
