UK lineman battling cancer worked out on field Saturday. Is he on his way back?

It’s still too soon for Kentucky to make any announcements about the status of Josh Paschal, who has been battling a form of cancer all season.

But the sophomore defensive lineman looked well on his way to good health before UK’s game against Vanderbilt on Saturday. Paschal was seen before the game being put through a strenuous workout by Corey Edmond.

UK’s director of performance didn’t appear to be taking it easy on Paschal, which made one wonder if there is any hope of the player being able to play this season.

Mark Stoops wasn’t ready to make any announcements about Paschal on Monday at his news conference to preview Missouri, but the head coach had some good news about the sophomore.
