Oklahoma at Tennessee injury updates: Friday availability report revealed

Oklahoma vs. Tennessee will be a playoff elimination game tomorrow night, with a pair of two-loss teams set to meet on Rocky Top. Now, we better know who will be in or out of the lineup for the Sooners and Volunteers with the release tonight of the SEC Availability Report.

With six league games tomorrow, the Southeastern Conference has posted the latest update to the injury report for the dozen teams taking the field tomorrow. That’s following an initial post on Wednesday before a first update to it on Thursday.

Here is Friday night’s update to the SEC Availability Report for Oklahoma and Tennessee:

Oklahoma Sooners

• RB Jovantae Barnes – Out
• RB Taylor Tatum – Out
• WR Keontez Lewis – Out
• DB Kendel Dolby – Out
• OL Troy Everett – Out
• OL Jacob Sexton – Out
• OL Jake Taylor – Out
• OL Derek Simmons – Doubtful
• LB Kobie McKinzie – Questionable
• OL Logan Howland – Probable

Tennessee Volunteers

• DB Rickey Gibson III – Out
• WR Travis Smith Jr. – Out
• DB Jermod McCoy – Out
• LB Arion Carter – Questionable

Oklahoma kept all ten of its designations on the report from Wednesday to Thursday. Williams and McKenzie, contributors on their defense, though, were each upgraded from questionable to probable for this weekend’s matchup.

Tennessee then also had the same four designations between the two days following the update. The big question, though, remained the status of Carter, the leading linebacker on their defense with a team-high of 61 tackles along with a sack, a forced fumble and a recovery, and a deflection apiece, as he tries to return from a double case of turf toe for the Vols.
