University of Kentucky junior cornerback Paul Warford has been reinstated to the football team after being suspended last month for a violation of team rules.

Warford, out of Madison Central High School in Richmond, started all 11 games in which he played as a sophomore during the 2007 season. He made 41 tackles, including a career-high seven stops in the upset of No. 1 Louisiana State. He had interceptions against Arkansas and Tennessee and was second on the team in pass breakups with nine.

Thurmond reinjures knee; Jarmon has surgery

Sophomore linebacker Brandon Thurmond has reinjured the knee that was hurt last spring and will miss all of spring practice. Thurmond redshirted in 2006 and missed the entire 2007 season with the knee injury. He is expected to return when practice resumes in August.

Junior defensive end Jeremy Jarmon had arthroscopic knee surgery and will miss about two weeks of spring practice. Jarmon had a team-high nine sacks last fall.
