The initial availability report for this Saturday’s SEC matchups has been released. It will be updated again on Thursday and Friday ahead of each game. Here’s a look at the initial report submitted by each team.

LSU at Ole Miss

LSU

OUT

DE #19 Gabriel Reliford

QUESTIONABLE

RB #29 Caden Durham

PROBABLE

TE #14 Trey’Dez Green

LB #33 West Weeks

Ole Miss

OUT

WR #88 Devin Price

QUESTIONABLE

CB #2 Jaylon Braxton

OL #76 John Wayne Oliver

PROBABLE

WR #7 Traylon Ray

The big news here is that both West Weeks and Trey’Dez Green seem to be on the right track to play Saturday. That’s big for the Tigers to get a key weapon on each side of the ball. The downside is that it looks like Caden Durham may not be able to go, which is frustrating considering Ole Miss has the worst run defense in the SEC through four games.

Auburn at Texas A&M

Auburn

OUT

WR #5 Horatio Fields

RB #21 Durell Robinson

QUESTIONABLE

DE #10 Amaris Williams

OL #75 Connor Lew

PROBABLE

WR #4 Malcolm Simmons

S #8 Kaleb Harris

RB #23 Jeremiah Cobb

CB #23 Jay Crawford

Texas A&M

OUT

S #1 Bryce Anderson

QUESTIONABLE

LB #0 Scooby Williams

Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze announced during Wednesday’s teleconference that Wake Forest transfer wide receiver Horatio Fields broke his foot in Tuesday’s practice, and it will require surgery. Freeze also said his replacement would be former five-star Perry Thompson who is in year two at Auburn.

Tennessee at Mississippi State

Tennessee

OUT

DB #1 Rickey Gibson III

DB #3 Jermod McCoy

DL #5 Daevin Hobbs

WR #5 Radarious Jackson

RB #24 Hunter Barnes

QUESTIONABLE

RB #19 Daune Morris

OL #70 David Sanders Jr.

PROBABLE

DL #51 Jaxson Moi

Mississippi State

OUT

DL #43 Will Whitson

OL #54 Blake Steen

QUESTIONABLE

LB #16 Derion Gullette

Tennessee continues to have one of the lengthiest availability reports for any SEC team once again. Five players are definitely out including their starting two cornerbacks Rickey Gibson III and potential first round pick Jermod McCoy. Former top five player in the country David Sanders is listed as questionable still on the offensive line. The freshman has still yet to make his debut in a game this season.

Mississippi State continues to stay relatively healthy and is just a 7.5 point underdog to Tennessee at home this weekend.

Alabama at Georgia

Alabama

OUT

LB #20 Jah-Marien Latham

DL #92 Jeremiah Beaman

PROBABLE

TE #87 Danny Lewis Jr.

DL #96 Tim Keenan III

Georgia

OUT

TE #9 Ethan Barbour

OL #51 Malachi Toliver

WR #88 Thomas Blackshear

DOUBTFUL

OL #71 Earnest Greene III

This is the first time all season that starting running back Jam Miller is not included in the availability report. He suffered a shoulder injury prior to week one of the season and has been sidelined for every game so far this season. Alabama will also be down another front seven player as sixth-year senior Jah-Marien Latham suffered a neck injury on Tuesday and was rushed to the UAB hospital in Birmingham.

Georgia will likely be without offensive lineman Earnest Greene at tackle which has contributed to some early season struggles for the offensive line and run game in Athens.

Kentucky at South Carolina

Kentucky

OUT

RB #10 Jamarion Wilcox

DL #55 Nic Smith

WR #82 David Washington Jr.

TE #85 Elijah Brown

WR #89 Preston Bowman

DOUBTFUL

DB #5 DJ Waller Jr.

QUESTIONABLE

QB #5 Zach Calzada

OL #53 Aba Selm

South Carolina

DOUBTFUL

DB #11 Buddy Mack III

OL #62 Nolan Hay

OL #75 Cason Henry

DL #99 Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy

QUESTIONABLE

DB #1 DQ Smith

DB #8 Judge Collier

South Carolina will be without two starting players in the trenches, as both DL Gabriel Bronlow-Dindy and RT Cason Henry will most likely miss Saturday’s game. That duo represents the highest graded player on offense and defense according to PFF. Kentucky will be starting redshirt freshman Cutter Boley at quarterback in place of injured Zach Calzada. This will be his first road and SEC game as a starter.
