J.J. Weaver hoping to make his return next week

The Kentucky Wildcats will unfortunately be without one of its best defensive players against the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday. Luckily, the 11-fingered junior defensive end is hoping for a return next week against the South Carolina Gamecocks.

Weaver spoke with Blue Chips on Thursday evening and had a positive update prior to the Cats’ top-15 matchup this weekend.

“This is God’s plan,” Weaver said. That’s what my mom told me. I’m in good spirits. Hopefully ,I’ll come back next week. That’s my goal.”

Fresh off a career game with nine tackles against the Florida Gators, Weaver suffered some sort of elbow injury early in the game against Youngstown State.
