Kentucky Injury Report: Demie Sumo-Karngbaye will not play against Auburn
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 Auburn vs. Kentucky on Wednesday night.
Kentucky listed 15 players on the second availability report ahead of this weekend’s game against Auburn. 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
Jantzen Dunn | DB | Out
Darrion Henry-Young | DL | Out
Gerald Mincey | OL | Out
Josaih Hayes | DL | Out
Tavion Gadson | DL | Out
Chip Trayanum | RB | Out
Demie Sumo-Karngbaye | RB | Out
Keeshawn Silver | DL | Questionable
Quay’sheed Scott | DB | Probable
Deone Walker | DT | Probable
DJ Waller Jr. | DB | Probable
D’Eryk Jackson | LB | Probable
Tre’vonn Rybka | DL | Probable
Kentucky will be without leading rusher Demie Sumo-Karngbaye for the first time this season. The former NC State transfer was downgraded to out on Thursday. Ohio State transfer Chip Trayanum will miss another game after making his debut against Florida last week.
The Cats are dealing with some significant injuries.
It wasn’t all bad news as reserve kicker Jacob Kauwe was removed from the report and true freshman defensive back Quay’sheed Scott was upgraded to probable. The status didn’t change for the four defensive starters listed as probable and that is a good thing with practice wrapping up this week.
Availability reports will be published daily, and we’ll receive a final report on Saturday 90 minutes before the Wildcats host the Tigers.
Auburn places 5 players on availability report
Hugh Freeze‘s team is also dealing with some injuries at the moment. Auburn will be without these players on Saturday night at Kroger Field.
Jamonta Waller | OLB | Out
Tyler Scott | DB | Out
Champ Anthony | DB | Out
Brandon Frazier | TE | Out
Caleb Burton III | WR | Out
