Kentucky QB Terry Wilson to Miss Season With Torn Patellar Tendon

The Kentucky Wildcats' promising start to the 2019 college football season was just dealt a massive blow.

Starting quarterback Terry Wilson is expected to miss the entire season after it was revealed he suffered a torn patellar tendon that will require surgery.

Wilson was off to a respectable start under center for the Wildcats. The junior entered Saturday with a 73.1% completion percentage and had thrown for 246 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Then, however, he sustained the knee injury on a two-yard touchdown run in the third quarter of Kentucky's 38-17 win over Eastern Michigan, and had to be carted off of the field, abruptly putting an end to what looked to be a strong season in the making.

The Wildcats, who have gone 2-0 over the first two weeks of the season this year, will miss him greatly. Though he wasn't exactly a world-beater like some of his quarterback counterparts in the SEC, he was a vital member of their offensive game plan.

Now, head coach Mark Stoops will have to find a way to keep the offense rolling without him. They've put up 38 points per game so far this year, but that will no doubt be tough to keep pace with now.

Hopefully Wilson comes back from this injury stronger than ever for his senior year.
