Linebacker Jacquez Jones is back in a boot

One of the Kentucky Wildcats’ defensive leaders and biggest returners for 2022 is having some issues with a nagging foot injury.

Jacquez Jones took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a picture of his foot in a boot along with crutches.

Jones missed the Cats’ bowl game against the Iowa Hawkeyes after he was seen wearing a boot throughout the week in Orlando. However, he was able to participate in all 15 practices this spring.

During the 2021 season, Jones was a massive piece to the Cats’ success as he led the team with 86 tackles and had game winning pass break-ups against Florida, Missouri, and Chattanooga.

Hopefully this is just a precautionary measure to ensure that Jones is ready to go when the season gets set to kick off on September 4^th because Kentucky will be better off with the experienced leadership that Jones will provide.
