Welcome to the inaugural official Tennessee football availability report.

For the first time ever, the SEC passed a rule this year forcing teams to release official availability, or injury, reports each week that they play a conference game. With Tennessee playing its SEC opener on Saturday night at Oklahoma, this week is the first week that Josh Heupel has had to release an official injury report.

The injury reports begin on Wednesday night and will be updated daily up to kick off.

Tennessee had seven total players on the availability report with three players officially ruled out while Oklahoma had 12 total players on the availability report with four officially ruled out. Check out all the SEC availability reports here.

QUESTIONABLE

– Left tackle Lance Heard

PROBABLE

Tennessee Notes

Little surprise from Tennessee’s side of things on the injury report. The most noteworthy thing is that Cam Seldon is not on the report at all after missing the last two games.

Lance Heard is questionable after not playing last week against Kent State. If he can’t go, Dayne Davis will start in his place.

Jourdan Thomas is out for the year with a torn ACL and no one else on the availability report earns significant playing time.

Oklahoma Notes

Oklahoma is much more notable. Nic Anderson, Kendel Dolby and Troy Everett are all listed as probable ahead of Saturday’s game after dealing with injuries so far this season.

Anderson is Oklahoma’s leading returning receiver from last season where he caught 38 passes for 798 yards and 10 touchdowns. He has yet to make his season debut.

Dolby is a starting safety for Oklahoma. He played the first two games of the season but missed last week’s game against Tulane. After totaling 49 tackles, two sacks and two interceptions last season, Dolby has recorded six tackles this season.

Everett was an off-and-on starter last season and is the Sooners projected starting center this season. The senior has yet to play this season.
