Cats WR Ford injures knee in practice
SPECIAL TO THE HERALD-LEADER
Wide receivers DeMoreo Ford and Jonathan Gholson sustained injuries during Saturday's practice, Coach Rich Brooks announced.
According to a release from UK, Ford sustained a ruptured patellar tendon and is expected to undergo surgery in the coming week. Depending upon the extent of the injury, it is possible that the junior from LaGrange, Ga., will return for the 2008 season. He has caught 20 career passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns.
Gholson, a redshirt freshman from Louisville, incurred a knee ligament injury. He will be re-evaluated Monday.
Brooks also announced that redshirt freshman tailback Brandon Jackson has been dismissed from the team for a violation of team rules.
Before Saturday's practice, Brooks presented the Wildcats with their championship rings from the 2007 Music City Bowl.
