LEXINGTON, Kentucky (Ticker) -- Kentucky linebacker Mikhail Mabry broke his thumb during Thursday's practice and will be sidelined indefinitely.

A redshirt sophomore, Mabry jammed his thumb on another player's knee during a routine drill and will undergo surgery Friday.

The 235-pound Mabry was slated to play with the Wildcats' second-string defense as a middle linebacker. As a true freshman in 2005, he recorded five tackles in seven games.
