Zone 7A Kentucky. Several of my garlic cloves i was going to plant have sprouted. Would you plant the cloves that aren’t mushy but have sprouted? Not sure if i can save these hard neck cloves to put them in the garden in 2 weeks?

Absolutely, they often will sprout even after planting and just go dormant when it gets too cold.
I’d plant if not mushy. The depleted/mushy/dried-out ones are no good, but sprouting is what they’re gonna do as soon as they’re in the ground anyway.
Yes, plant them! Don’t wait for the others to get mushy, get them into their normal habitat.
And never give up on garlic. That’s my motto. I planted some in June (I know, I was excited to plant and got ahead of the plan, am planting more now). It took over 5 weeks for the first one to sprout and over the next month+ they kept sprouting.
Yes! My turbans are usually already sprouting a week before planting and I get great yields from them year after year
