Final injury report for South Carolina 90 minutes before kickoff
South Carolina will be in pretty good shape ahead of the Gamecocks’ Week 3 matchup with Vanderbilt on Saturday.
With 90 minutes until kickoff from Williams-Brice Stadium (7:45 p.m., SECN), the final SEC availability report is in. And for South Carolina, it will only be down one player with starting defensive back Judge Collier out for the second straight week.
Besides that, the Gamecocks don’t have anyone else listed. Vanderbilt defensive lineman Yilanan Quattara is the lone Commodore who will miss the game.
The first injury report of the week had five players, including Collier, on it on Wednesday. But the other five have all been removed from the report in the last few days, meaning those players will be good to go.
Defensive backs Vicari Swain, Brandon Cisse and Jaquel Holman were all listed as probable on Wednesday, but were taken off the report the next day. Head coach Shane Beamer said on his call-in show that Brady Hunt would play against Vanderbilt. Then on Friday, the senior tight end was officially cleared in Friday’s report.
The Gamecocks will also have Jalon Kilgore and JT Geer, who didn’t play last Saturday against SC State, back for their SEC opener. Starting left tackle Josiah Thompson will also be ready for this weekend after dealing with an injury last weekend.

Last season, the SEC approved a player availability injury report system for football, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball.
SEC school personnel must submit availability reports three days before each football game, with daily updates leading to a final report 90 minutes before game time. For basketball and baseball, reports are filed the night before, with an update on game day.
According to the SEC, penalties for inaccurate or late reports will range from $25,000 to $100,000 for football and anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 for basketball and baseball.
When schools submit injury reports, players will be designated as available, probable, doubtful, and questionable before game day. On game day, designations will be available, game-time decision or out. The model follows injury reports similar to the NFL.
