Mark Stoops went a month without updating the Kentucky depth chart. It’s clear the new SEC injury policy has changed his weekly depth chart philosophy.

Jamarion Wilcox had a career-high 82 rushing yards against Ohio. He’s still not on the two-deep, despite Jason Patterson‘s two-week absence. Dylan Ray started two straight games at left guard, but he’s not on the depth chart. Aidan Laros got the start at punter, but there’s still an “OR’ next to his name.

So what has changed? Daveren Rayner did not dress for the Ohio game and he has been taken off the Kentucky depth chart. One can surmise he will miss an extended amount of time and appear on this week’s injury report.
