Alabama Football issued its first availability report of the week on Wednesday evening.

Four Crimson Tide players were featured on the initial report. Linebackers Jah-Marien Latham (neck), Qua Russaw (foot) and Cayden Jones (ankle) and defensive lineman Jeremiah Beaman (knee) are all out. Latham and Beaman are both out for the remainder of the 2025 season, and Russaw and Jones recover from surgeries to repair their respective injuries.

Meanwhile, Alabama players who appeared on last week’s availability report — wide receivers Jaylen Mbakwe (hand) and Derek Meadows (concussion), running back Jam Miller (concussion) and tight end Danny Lewis — were not included on Wednesday evening. Miller played against Tennessee, while the other three didn’t. But they’re on track to play this week.

The No. 4-ranked Crimson Tide (6-1, 4-0 SEC) will travel to play South Carolina (3-4, 1-4) on Saturday, October 25, at Williams-Brice Stadium. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC.

SEC Availability Report Policies

Beginning with the 2024-25 athletics season, all Southeastern Conference schools will provide public reports on the availability of student-athletes to participate in each conference game in the sports of football, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball.

Prior to a Saturday football game, an institution must issue the Initial Report on Wednesday by 7 p.m. CT and update the Availability Report once per day on Thursday and Friday (after the conclusion of practice and before 7 p.m.). On game day, an institution must provide one Game Day Update no later than 90 minutes before game time.

Designated Participation Statuses 

If an institution has knowledge that a student-athlete may not be able to participate in the upcoming game for any reason (including, but not limited to, injury, illness, suspension, ineligibility, or personal matter), the institution must accurately designate the student-athlete’s participation status on the Initial Report as follows: 

– Out – Will not play / 0% chance to play

– Doubtful – Unlikely to play / 25% chance to play

– Questionable – Uncertain to play / 50% chance to play

– Probable – Probable to play / 75% chance to play
