Ramon Jefferson emerging amid availability concerns for Chris Rodriguez

Kentucky is expected to be without star running back Chris Rodriguez to open the season — likely for three to four weeks — with a final decision expected next week.

For now, though, Mark Stoops does not have an official update on his senior standout.

“I don’t (have an update),” Stoops said Saturday. “I’ll have one as we get closer to game time, with the roster and everything. You guys know I’ve always been as up-front and honest as I can be at all times with injuries or anything like that. I’ll get it out to you soon enough.
