Injuries, coronavirus contact tracing force Stoops to alter Kentucky football scrimmage

The strength of Kentucky’s football team is depth. That strength is being challenged by some preseason injuries and the coronavirus.

Saturday morning Kentucky held their third scrimmage of the preseason, one more than in a typical training camp. Mark Stoops had to make a few adjustments to accommodate a few unspecified position groups that have been hit harder than others by injury and the coronavirus.

“We’re getting thin at certain positions and so we do have to look at that and alter some of the scrimmage today,” Stoops said. “Everything is still manageable at this point in time, but it does get you a touch thin when you’re going three and four groups and getting into a heavy scrimmage.
