Heading into Saturday, the two lone players listed out are defensive back Marquis Groves-Killebrew and offensive lineman Jordan Brown.

On the season, Groves-Killebrew has totaled six tackles (four solo, two assisted) in a limited role. The loss of him on Saturday will lead to the Wildcats' corner depth taking a hit.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Isaiah Hardge is listed as doubtful. He has caught five passes for 37 yards on the season.
