(AP) - While No. 25 Kentucky is anxious to get back on the field Saturday at Vanderbilt, the bye week allowed the banged up Wildcats to heal.

Coach Rich Brooks said Thursday his team is as healthy as it's been all season. Aside from running back Tony Dixon, who remains questionable, everyone else should be available against the Commodores.

"I don't think there's any doubt that from where we were, coming off of the two losses and the health of our team and everything, that it was a very much needed bye week," Brooks said. "(Justin) Jeffries has practiced two days in a row and Corey Peters has as well. No problems with either one of those guys. Rafael Little continues to look quick and fast and that's a good sign. Micah (Johnson) has practiced both days full-go and he'll be ready to play."

Brooks said his team's biggest challenge will be finding a way to slow star Vanderbilt wide receiver Earl Bennett.
