Week eight's first availability report a mixed bag for Kentucky

During football season in the SEC, availability reports are required to be submitted on Wednesday. With week eight approaching, Kentucky football has been dealing with a number of injuries, and their first report features a number of names listed to various degrees. There is good news and bad news.

The biggest new name to appear is linebacker Sam Greene, who was hurt last Saturday. He is listed as doubtful. Wide receiver Nic Anderson also continues to deal with aches and pains, and is questionable for the Vanderbilt game.

On the other hand, running back C.J. Baxter, who didn’t play against Oklahoma, is probable for week eight, and linebacker Tavion Wallace looks set to return to action. He is also probable, and will be a huge lift for the Wildcats, giving them some added depth at the position.

Vanderbilt has a number of names on their end as well. Backup quarterback Blaze Berlowitz is out, as is Brian Allen Jr., a starter on the defensive line. Safety Dontae Carter is questionable.
