Mark Stoops provides latest update on absences of Chris Rodriguez and Jordan Wright

The Kentucky Wildcats have suffered the absence of two players of note in running back Chris Rodriguez and linebacker Jordan Wright, who have both been sidelined with an unknown issue.

Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops met with the media this week to discuss the status of both of those players in addition to some other names who have also been sidelined.

“I don’t have anything I can report,” Stoops said. “I’ve always been transparent with you, tried to be the best I can. There are things going on, layers to this, that I’ve been advised I really can’t comment on it.”

Rodriguez was projected to be among the best in the SEC at his position and where offensive players across the board within the conference are concerned and it would certainly be advantageous for the Wildcats to have these two back as soon as possible as they prepare to take on a Florida Gators team that just knocked off No. 7-ranked Utah in Week 1 action.
