Kentucky Injury Report: Wildcats could get Chip Trayanum back against Florida

A new SEC policy has arrived in 2024 with weekly injury reports being published during game week. The conference now requires each of their 16 members to provide multiple “availability reports” during game week. We got the first one for Florida vs. Kentucky on Wednesday night.

Kentucky listed nine players on the first availability report ahead of this weekend’s game against Florida. Players must be listed as out (0% chance to play), doubtful (25% chance to play), questionable (50% chance to play), or probable (75% chance to play). This week’s injury report includes multiple starters.

• Jayvant Brown | LB | Out
• Maxwell Hairston | DB | Out
• Darrion Henry-Young | DL | Out
• Josaih Hayes | DL | Out
• Tavion Gadson | DL | Out
• Chip Trayanum | RB | Questionable
• Terhyon Nichols | DB | Questionable
• Jacob Kauwe | K | Questionable
• Keeshawn Silver | DL | Probable

As expected, cornerback Maxwell Hairston out are listed as out. Tackle Courtland Ford and tailback Chip Trayanum could make their season debuts on Saturday night in Gainesville.

Another availability report will be published daily, and we’ll receive a final report on Saturday 90 minutes before the Wildcats host the most popular team in college football.

Florida places 16 players on availability report

Billy Napier‘s football team is also dealing with some significant injuries at the moment. Starting quarterback Graham Mertz is out for the season and the Gators might not have RB1 Montrell Johnson Jr. in the lineup against Kentucky.
