Wednesday’s availability report for this Saturday’s SEC matchups has been released. It will be updated once again on Thursday and then a final time Friday evening. Here’s a look at the report submitted by each team.

LSU at Vanderbilt

LSU

OUT

DOUBTFUL

  • DL #88 Bernard Gooden

QUESTIONABLE

PROBABLE

Vanderbilt

OUT

  • QB #7 Drew Dickey
  • RB #13 Chase Gillespie
  • DB #33 Vanzale Hinton
  • LB #40 Jamison Curtis

DOUBTFUL

  • CB #0 Marlon Jones
  • DL #5 Yilanan Ouattara
  • S #39 Brail Lipford

QUESTIONABLE

PROBABLE

  • LB #10 Langston Patterson

The biggest surprise from an injury standpoint is that Whit Weeks is questionable. There are still two days left, but last week Aaron Anderson was the only player with that same designation from the LSU side, and he did not play against South Carolina.

Oklahoma at South Carolina

Oklahoma

OUT

  • OL #52 Troy Everett
  • OL #76 Jacob Sexton
  • OL #79 Jake Taylor

DOUBTFUL

  • WR #9 Keontez Lewis
  • TE #19 Kade McIntyre
  • OL #71 Logan Howland

QUESTIONABLE

South Carolina

DOUBTFUL

  • OL #62 Nolan Hay
  • OL #72 Shedrick Sarratt Jr.
  • OL #75 Cason Henry

QUESTIONABLE

  • OL #58 Markee Anderson
  • DL #99 Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy

PROBABLE

It looks like Brandon Cisse should be good to go against Oklahoma, which is a big boost to the Gamecock secondary. He was in street clothes for the second half of last week’s game against LSU. The downside is that this offensive life could be without four starters against one of the best defensive fronts in America.

Ole Miss at Georgia

Ole Miss

QUESTIONABLE

  • RB #22 Logan Diggs
  • S #31 Ladarian Clardy
  • WR #88 Devin Price

Georgia

OUT

  • TE #9 Ethan Barbour
  • WR #11 Talyn Taylor
  • DB #31 Kyron Jones
  • OL #51 Malachi Toliver
  • WR #88 Thomas Blackshear

PROBABLE

Georgia got some good news with two offensive lineman being potentially ready to go against Ole Miss. The bad news: they’re going against an Ole Miss team that has been one of the healthiest in the conference all year.

Texas A&M at Arkansas

Texas A&M

OUT

QUESTIONABLE

  • TE #21 Kiotti Armstrong

Arkansas

OUT

  • DB #8 Quentavius Scandrett
  • WR #11 Monte Harrison
  • WR #16 Ismael Cisse
  • WR #17 Jalen Brown
  • RB #20 AJ Green
  • TE #33 Jeremiah Beck Jr.
  • TE #81 Andreas Paaske
  • DL #88 Danny Saili
  • DL #92 David Oke

Texas A&M will most likely be without running back Le’Veon Moss. The loss should be minimal this week with the Aggies facing the most porous defense in the conference.

Mississippi State at Florida

Mississippi State

OUT

QUESTIONABLE

Florida

OUT

  • RB #5 Treyaun Webb
  • EDG #11 LJ McCray
  • DB #13 Aaron Gates
  • RB #20 Duke Clark
  • DB #27 Dijon Johnson
  • DL #88 Caleb Banks

QUESTIONABLE

  • DB #14 Jordan Castell
  • RB #24 Ja’Kobi Jackson
  • DB #25 Cormani McClain
  • DL #33 Brien Taylor Jr.
  • OL #57 Devon Manuel
  • TE #86 Tony Livingston

Mississippi State has become one of the trendiest upset picks of the weekend, especially with the news of Billy Napier potentially being fired win or lose this weekend. However, being without Fluff Bothwell is a blow to an offense that’s coming off a bye week and looking for their first SEC win in 724 days.

Texas at Kentucky

Texas

OUT

  • WR #14 Aaron Butler
  • LB #37 Jonathan Cunningham
  • OL #54 Cole Hutson

DOUBTFUL

QUESTIONABLE

  • DB #17 Xavier Filsaime
  • OL #79 Connor Stroh
  • DL #98 Maraad Watson

Kentucky

OUT

  • RB #10 Jamarion Wilcox
  • OLB #16 Jacob Smith
  • DB #21 Nasir Addison
  • ILB #32 Devin Smith
  • DL #55 Nic Smith
  • WR #82 David Washington Jr.
  • TE #85 Elijah Brown

QUESTIONABLE

  • WR #0 Troy Stellato
  • OL #53 Aba Selm

PROBABLE

  • DB #24 Jaden Smith

Tennessee at Alabama

Tennessee

OUT

OUT – 1ST HALF

  • LB #13 Edwin Spillman

QUESTIONABLE

  • TE #0 Ethan Davis

PROBABLE

  • RB #18 DeSean Bishop

Alabama

OUT

  • LB #4 Qua Russaw
  • LB #20 Jah-Marien Latham
  • LB #30 Cayden Jones
  • WR #30 Derek Meadows
  • DL #92 Jeremiah Beaman

QUESTIONABLE

The biggest news out of this report is that Tennessee will once again be without their preseason projected starters at cornerback in Rickey Gibson III and Jermod McCoy.

The assumption was that both would be ready by this game since neither has played a snap all season. From the Alabama side, very few thought Derek Meadows would play after the devastating hit he took in the first half against Missouri. However, starting running back Jam Miller being listed as questionable after suffering what was thought to be a concussion is good news for the Crimson Tide.

Missouri at Auburn

Missouri

OUT

  • K #19 Blake Craig
  • QB #21 Sam Horn

QUESTIONABLE

  • OL #66 Logan Reichert

Auburn

OUT

  • WR #5 Horatio Fields
  • RB #21 Durell Robinson

DOUBTFUL

  • LB #16 Bryce Deas

QUESTIONABLE

  • CB #1 Champ Anthony
  • TE #87 Brandon Frazier
