Kentucky Football Depth Chart: Week 2 vs. South Carolina

The Kentucky Wildcats for 2.5 quarters under their belt in the middle of lightning delays Saturday night against Southern Miss. Now it’s time to quickly turn the page to South Carolina. On Labor Day Monday, Mark Stoops released a new Kentucky Depth Chart ahead of the first SEC game of the 2024 season.

TE Josh Kattus and CB DJ Waller were each sidelined for the season-opener against Southern Miss, despite appearing on the week one depth chart. RB Chip Trayanum was absent last week after suffering a broken hand at the end of training camp. We’ll get an official injury report on Wednesday, and the UK running back will likely be listed as doubtful or questionable after missing this week’s depth chart update.

Take a closer week at this week’s depth chart update, which actually has not received any updates since last Monday.
