Tennessee Adds No New Injuries on First Availability Report for South Carolina Game

Tennessee came through its win over Alabama without adding any new names to the injury list, according to the SEC's initial availability report for Saturday's game at South Carolina. The update brings a measure of calm after a physical contest last Saturday, when the Volunteers beat the Crimson Tide 26-10 for their third straight home victory over their longtime rival.

The six Tennessee players listed on this week's report are the same six who appeared last week, and none of them was a surprise addition. All six are out for the season, which means the report changed nothing about who is expected to be available when Tennessee faces the Gamecocks. No player who took part in the Alabama game picked up an injury serious enough to be flagged in this first update of the week.

South Carolina, meanwhile, received better news coming out of its bye week. Defensive linemen Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy and Julian Walker are no longer on the Gamecocks' report after both missed the team's win over Florida on October 10. Their removal suggests both are cleared to return for Saturday.

Barring an unexpected setback in practice later in the week, Tennessee heads into the South Carolina matchup with a stable availability picture and no fresh injury questions to answer. For a team trying to build on the momentum of the Alabama win, that clean report leaves the focus on preparation rather than replacements.
