Kentucky at Vanderbilt injury updates: Friday availability report revealed

This weekend will likely see the final home game of the season in Nashville. That’s as Kentucky vs. No. 14 Vanderbilt will be played on West End on Saturday, with the Commodores still competing to keep their hopes alive at a spot in the College Football Playoff.

With that, the final edition is out of the SEC Availability Report for this conference matchup between the Wildcats and Commodores. That’s after an initial report that was released on Wednesdays, with a first update to it made on Thursdays. Now, we have another look of who’ll be available on the sidelines tomorrow afternoon for UK and Vandy.

Here is that update to the injury report from the Southeastern Conference for Kentucky and for Vanderbilt:

Kentucky Wildcats

• WR Troy Stellato – Out
• OLB Sam Greene – Out
• DB DJ Waller Jr. – Out
• DB Jantzen Dunn – Out
• RB Jamarion Wilcox – Out
• DB Nasir Addison – Out
• DB Jaden Smith – Out
• DB Jordan Lovett – Out
• ILB Devin Smith – Out
• OL Malachi Wood – Out
• OL Aba Selm – Out
• WR David Washington – Out
• TE Elijah Brown – Out

Vanderbilt Commodores

• DL Yilanan Ouattara – Out
• QB Drew Dickey – Out

• DL Nikhil Jefferson – Out

Kentucky had a sizable report with sixteen names still designated on it for their team, with eleven of those already being out as of Thursday with the downgrading of Waller Jr. from doubtful to out. Five then remained anywhere from questionable to doubtful on Thursday, with four of those being on the defense for the Wildcats. All four of those were of note in Afari (50 tackles, 2.5 sacks), Saunders (27 tackles, 1.5 sacks), Nichols, (18 tackles, 4 deflections), and Addison (13 tackles).

Vanderbilt has then maintained a similar report as they have for multiple league games now. It features five players who remained out from the start, with Clinton Azubuike now being upgraded to in for the Commodores on Thursday after being probable on Wednesday.
