At his weekly press conference on Tuesday, Clark Lea, when asked about Ken Seals’ availability for Saturday’s game against Ole Miss, said that the sophomore quarterback is “day-to-day” due to an injury he suffered last Saturday against Kentucky.
The surprise is that Lea was so forthcoming about the situation: he said that Seals’ injury won’t impact “availability,” but it might impact his performance — a coachspeak way of saying that Seals at about 80% isn’t as good as Mike Wright at 100%. With a team that’s currently 2-8 on the season, either way it doesn’t seem particularly wise to play a guy who isn’t fully healthy when his backup has proved himself perfectly capable, but that may just be me talking.
