LEXINGTON — Members of the Kentucky football team are returning to workouts Monday.

The Southeastern Conference had halted all in-person athletic activity in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic but recently cleared schools to begin bringing athletes back to campus. UK announced over the weekend the first phase of its reintroduction of athletes to campus would begin Monday with members of the football team who remained in Lexington during the shutdown.

Those athletes will be allowed to participate in voluntary workouts with the strength and conditioning staff.
