Marcus will miss the rest of the regular season but hopes to be back for the bowl game..

Kentucky safety Marcus McClinton will miss the final three games of the regular season with a fractured scapula.

McClinton, a starter and one of the top playmakers in the Wildcats secondary, suffered the injury in a 31-14 loss to Mississippi State Saturday. Coach Rich Brooks said Tuesday that McClinton should be available to play in a bowl game.

"He made a tackle and got his shoulder knocked back and just fractured his scapula," Brooks said. "It's a very unusual injury. The good news is it's not displaced or anything. It's a crack and not a break."

This adds to the urgency of UK needing to get its stars back from injury and onto the field.

That's tough. Thing is he might have been better off with a break than a crack. I hope he makes it back soon.

I was thinking that too Brandon.
