The Louisville football team will play without four suspended players Saturday night against Kentucky.

Tight end Jordan Davis and running backs Dae Williams, Malik Staples and Javian Hawkins have all been disciplined for an unspecified violation of team rules.

The most significant absence of the four would be Davis. Without him, Micky Crum is the only scholarship tight end available Saturday.

Williams was already out with a wrist injury. Hawkins, a freshman, is redshirting this season. Staples has not played all season.

Interim head coach Lorenzo Ward suspended two players last week against NC State — wide receiver Devante Peete and defensive tackle Mike Boykin — and also held quarterback Jawon Pass out for the first quarter.
