LEXINGTON, Ky. - Wide receiver E.J. Fields will have surgery to repair a foot injury and is expected to miss most of the season, Coach Rich Brooks announced following Monday's practice.
Fields has a torn ligament in mid-foot and is slated to have surgery on Thursday. Fields (Frankfort, Ky.) redshirted last year and is looking for his first collegiate game action in 2009.
Brooks noted that the status of John Conner is uncertain after the senior fullback incurred a sprained ankle in Saturday's scrimmage. The extent of the injury will become more apparent in the next few days, although Conner appeared to be improved on Monday.
The coach also said that offensive guard Jake Lanefski began running on Monday. The sophomore from Mobile, Ala., has been sidelined because of a knee cartilage repair but could return to practice later in the week.
