LEXINGTON, Ky. – Senior tailback Tony Dixon has missed the last two days of practice and is expected to have limited availability for the Arkansas game, Coach Rich Brooks announced following Thursday morning’s practice.
“He (Dixon) will probably be available if needed, but it (the injury) has limited his effectiveness and he hasn’t practiced the last two days,” said Brooks, who noted that Dixon injured the ankle on Tuesday. Dixon, the senior co-captain from Parrish, Ala., has rushed for 128 yards and four touchdowns this season. He also reached the 1,000-yard mark in career rushing in the win over Norfolk State.
The Wildcats (4-2 overall, 0-2 SEC) play host to Arkansas (3-3, 1-2) on Saturday at 7 p.m. The game will be televised on ESPNU.
