South Carolina begins the final month of the regular season in Oxford on Saturday against No. 7 Ole Miss. Kickoff will be at 7 p.m. on ESPN.
With 90 minutes until kickoff from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium (7 p.m., ESPN), the final SEC availability report is in. Star EDGE Dylan Stewart, who was listed as questionable on Friday, is now a game-time decision ahead of kickoff.
It’s unclear what led to Stewart appearing on the injury report this week, though he did suffer a hip pointer injury two weeks ago against Oklahoma. He still managed to play against Alabama the following week.
Stewart has recorded 28 tackles and 3.5 sacks so far in his sophomore season.
As for the rest of the report, defensive back Buddy Mack III, wide receiver Jayden Sellers, and offensive tackle Cason Henry are all out for Saturday’s game.
Ole Miss only had one player, defensive back Antonio Kite, on Friday’s report. He’s also a game-time decision for the Rebels.
Last season, the SEC approved a player availability injury report system for football, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball.
SEC school personnel must submit availability reports three days prior to each football game, with daily updates culminating in a final report 90 minutes before game time. For basketball and baseball, reports are filed the night before, with an update on game day.
When schools submit injury reports, players will be designated as available, probable, doubtful, and questionable before game day. On game day, designations will be available, game-time decision or out. The model follows injury reports similar to the NFL.
