South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers exited Saturday night’s matchup with Vanderbilt and did not return after suffering a helmet-to-helmet hit late in the second quarter.

Gamecocks head coach Shane Beamer did not have an update on Sellers Saturday night following the game, but provided the latest Sunday evening during his weekly teleconference.

“Injury-wise, LaNorris and Cason (Henry) obviously did not finish the game last night,” Beamer said. “We’re optimistic on both those guys for this week, and fortunately, there were no other injuries to report from last night.”

South Carolina’s redshirt sophomore signal-caller was 6-for-7 for 94 yards and an interception before having to leave the game. Vanderbilt linebacker Langston Patterson was ejected from the game for targeting on the play.

Senior Luke Doty entered as his replacement and completed 18 of 27 passes for 148 yards and an interception in the 31-7 loss.

Beamer did not commit to who would start this upcoming week against Missouri if Sellers could not go.

On3’s Pete Nakos reported on Sunday that Sellers is dealing with a concussion and will be monitored over the next 48 hours.

Beamer was asked point-blank if Sellers has a concussion, but said he was not getting into specifics on the injury.

Henry, Carolina’s starting right tackle, exited the game after just 14 snaps and did not return. Tree Babalade replaced him for the rest of the way.

Carolina is hoping to get starting cornerback Judge Collier back this week after he missed the last two games and most of the opener against Virginia Tech with a knee injury.

Wide receiver Nyck Harbor also hobbled off from the game but later returned.

The Gamecocks (2-1, 0-1 SEC) continue SEC play this weekend with a trip to Missouri. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. on ESPN.
