Derrick Locke suffered a pair of stingers and a bruised elbow in the Wildcats' three-point loss to Auburn Oct. 9, then sat out UK's upset win over South Carolina last weekend. Two days from now against Georgia, the running back will once again find himself on the sidelines instead of the field.
"Locke will not play this week," head coach Joker Phillips said following practice Thursday. "Hopefully, we will get him back next week. He should start back (at practice) on Sunday, just running around with it, and then we will go from there."
As they did last week, sophomore Donald Russell and freshman Raymond Sanders will attempt to take up the running game slack in Locke's absence.
It wasn't all bad news on the UK injury front, however. Starting defensive end DeQuin Evans, who sat out last weekend's win with a sprained ankle, is expected to play against the Bulldogs.
