We're just over 24 hours away from kickoff in Lexington, Kentucky and it looks like a total of 7 Texas players are on the current injury report for week 8 against the Kentucky Wildcats.

Let's take a look at the full report as of 10/17:

Questionable

DT Maraad Watson - Exact injury unknown.

Doubtful

RB C.J. Baxter - Still nursing his hamstring injury that he suffered against UTEP.

Out

C Cole Hutson - Exact injury unknown but it doesn't seem to be that serious.

OG Connor Stroh - Exact injury unknown.

WR Aaron Butler - Exact injury unknown.

S Xavier Filsaime - Exact injury unknown.

LB Jonathan Cunningham - Exact injury unknown.

With both Cole Hutson and Connor Stroh out for week 8, Connor Robertson and Nick Brooks will have to step up again against Kentucky this weekend. Brooks did pretty well against Oklahoma last week so he'll be heading into the game with some much needed momentum and motivation.

Robertson is a veteran guy who has full support from the offensive staff heading into this one.

Robertson and Arch Manning are also pretty close in general, and that's always a good thing with quarterbacks and centers.
