  "account": "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.",
