“He’ll be out for a little bit,” Stoops said. “Lower extremity.”

McCall was injured early in the Florida game and returned to the sidelines in a boot and walking on crutches. The Michigan native is in his first year as a starter after serving as the backup at nose guard behind Quinton Bohanna for the past three years. To this point the 6-foot-3, 344-pounder has been a solid presence in the middle of Kentucky’s 3-4 defense. He’s been credited with six tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss. Unfortunately for McCall, he was coming off one of the best games of his career at South Carolina the week before the Florida game.

Backup defensive lineman Josaih Hayes is expected to start in McCall's place.
