The Kentucky football team opened on-field preparations for the South Carolina game with a two-hour practice Tuesday morning at the Nutter Training Facility.

Following the workout, Coach Rich Brooks announced that the three players with high-ankle sprains -- defensive tackle Ricky Lumpkin, middle linebacker Micah Johnson and quarterback/wide receiver Randall Cobb -- all practiced “pretty hard and looked OK, not great, but OK,” according to the coach.

Brooks also announced that wide receiver DeMoreo Ford is out with his sternum/clavicle injury and that linebacker Michael Schwindel is out with a shoulder injury. The coach is hopeful that offensive guard Jess Beets (bruised knee) will return to practice on Wednesday.
