By Chris Marler

The initial availability report for this Saturday’s SEC matchups has been released. Teams will provide updates again on Thursday and Friday. Here’s the first look.

Kentucky at Georgia

Kentucky

OUT

RB #10 Jamarion Wilcox
DB #21 Nasir Addison
DB #24 Jaden Smith
DL #55 Nic Smith
WR #82 David Washington Jr.
TE #85 Elijah Brown
WR #89 Preston Bowman

QUESTIONABLE

DB #5 DJ Waller Jr.
ILB #32 Devin Smith
OL #53 Aba Selm

PROBABLE

QB #5 Zach Calzada

Georgia

OUT

TE #9 Ethan Barbour
OL #51 Malachi Toliver
OL #71 Earnest Greene III
WR #88 Thomas Blackshear

The big question is who will start at quarterback for Kentucky. Cutter Boley got the start last week at South Carolina. Boley, a redshirt freshman, struggled and left Wildcat fans with little confidence.

Vanderbilt at Alabama

Vanderbilt

OUT

CB #0 Marlon Jones
RB #13 Chase Gillespie
S #39 Brail Lipford
LB #40 Jamison Curtis

DOUBTFUL

DL #5 Yilanan Ouattara

QUESTIONABLE

CB #17 Mark Davis

Alabama

OUT

LB #4 Qua Russaw
LB #20 Jah-Marien Latham
DL #92 Jeremiah Beaman
OUT – 1ST HALF
DL #23 James Smith

Alabama has remained pretty healthy for most of the season. However, it’s still a massive concern that three of their injuries come from significant contributors in the front seven. Most will be out for the entire season or a great deal of it. Keep an eye on the difference in their run defense from each half as James Smith is serving a first half suspension after an ejection for targeting.

Texas at Florida

Texas

DOUBTFUL

RB #4 CJ Baxter

QUESTIONABLE

WR #3 Emmett Mosley V
RB #5 Quintrevion Wisner
DB #6 Kobe Black

PROBABLE

DB #5 Malik Muhammad
DB #17 Xavier Filsaime

Florida

OUT

RB #5 Treyaun Webb
EDG #11 LJ McCray
DB #13 Aaron Gates
RB #24 Ja’Kobi Jackson
DB #27 Dijon Johnson
DL #88 Caleb Banks

The biggest news here is Dijon Johnson being ruled out with an injury earlier in the week with a season ending injury. Even after the bye week, Florida has struggled to get healthy. Also, both of Texas’ running backs are listed on the report, but most in Austin feel that Quintrevion Wisner should be good to play on Saturday.
