Over the summer, Kentucky defensive lineman Josh Paschal was diagnosed with malignant melanoma (cancer) on the bottom of his foot.

Obviously, there are no guarantees with a cancer diagnosis and melanoma can be particularly bad, but Paschal was recently released by doctors to do light running.

Now, head coach Mark Stoops says Paschal is working his way back to the field:

Mark Stoops wasn’t ready to make any announcements about Paschal on Monday at his news conference to preview Missouri, but the head coach had some good news about the sophomore.

“He’s working his way back to the field,” Stoops said on his coaches’ radio show late Monday.
