Chris Rodriguez, DeAndre Square's status updated ahead of Missouri game

Chris Rodriguez is in, DeAndre Square is out for Kentucky, according to multiple reports from Columbia, Missouri Saturday morning.

Square injured his ankle during last week’s loss to Tennessee and was considered doubtful coming into the matchup. On the other end of the spectrum, Kentucky has their leading rusher locked and loaded for the Missouri matchup after missing much of the second half last week with an injury.

Losing Square is a huge blow to the Wildcats defense. This fall he is Kentucky’s leading tackler with 55, ranking 12th in the SEC. He also has 3.0 tackles for loss, a sack and a game-clinching interception against Mississippi State.
