Vanderbilt football player injured at Kentucky

Capers suffered the injury during a rushed play that resulted in him going down on the field. The game ended in a 7-7 draw with 10:19 minutes left to play in the second quarter. There was a long break in play while Capers was cared for on the field after the goal.

Capers recorded three tackles in the game before getting injured. He is in his fourth year with the program, but redshirted four games as a freshman in 2021 and then missed the 2022 season due to a torn ACL he suffered in the preseason.

The team gathered around Capers in midfield when he was substituted.

SEC Network reported that Capers suffered a blow to the head. He was taken to UK Hospital by ambulance. The broadcast later said that Capers was stable and was undergoing precautionary imaging.
