Vanderbilt defensive end Miles Capers was taken off the field via stretcher during the second quarter against Kentucky on Saturday night.

Capers took a shot to the head after colliding with a teammate on a 6-yard rush by Wildcats running back Demie Sumo-Karngbaye with 10:33 remaining in the first half. He was loaded into an ambulance and taken to a local-area hospital, where he was reportedly in stable condition.

Prior to exiting the game, Capers had three tackles.

Capers, a senior, entered Saturday with 22 tackles, 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble in five games (all starts) this season.
