Will Stein confirms Jaden Smith tore his ACL; Antwan Smith could return for the postseason
Both players were injured in the overtime win at South Carolina.
Kentucky Wildcats football has received clarification on the status of two injured defenders, Jaden Smith and Antwan Smith. According to Will Stein's recent show, Jaden Smith, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound sophomore and nickel cornerback, tore his ACL during the 35-34 overtime victory against South Carolina. The injury will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Antwan Smith, a 6-foot-3 junior linebacker, suffered ankle surgery in the same game, and while there is a possibility he could return for the postseason, the timeline is uncertain at this point. Both Smiths have missed over a month due to their respective injuries, leaving Kentucky with a linebacker shortage. If Kentucky advances past Thanksgiving weekend, Antwan Smith may be able to suit up for the postseason.
