Kentucky redshirt sophomore TE Brendan Bates is expected to miss a few weeks due to an undisclosed injury.
Bates (6'4/248) is making strides according to HC Mark Stoops, but the redshirt sophomore is likely to miss additional time as he works his way back to full strength. Bates, who has appeared in each of Kentucky’s first three games, caught one pass for 14 yards in Saturday’s 24-2 win over Mississippi State. Senior Justin Rigg remains the Wildcats’ starter at tight end.
