Tennessee, Alabama release pregame injury report
Keenan Pili being out with a torn ACL is the only injury of note heading into No. 11 Tennessee’s game against No. 7 Alabama Saturday afternoon at Neyland Stadium. The Vols and Crimson Tide released updated pregame injury reports before their 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time start on ABC.
Tennessee redshirt freshman Lance Heard and redshirt freshman running back Cameron Seldon were removed from the injury report Friday night. Heard had been listed as probable and Seldon as questionable the injury reports on Wednesday and Thursday.
Alabama updated defensive back Keon Sabb and linebacker Yhonzae Pierre to game-time decisions after they were listed as probable Friday night.
Heard missed the Oklahoma game on September 21 with an ankle issue, but has played in Tennessee’s last two games. Seldon hasn’t played since Oklahoma.
Seldon has carried seven times for 47 yards this season and has also been deep for Tennessee on kickoffs. All seven carries came against Chattanooga in Tennessee’s season-opening 69-3 win on August 31 at Neyland Stadium. He returned one kickoff against the Mocs for 35 yards.
The SEC mandates availability reports be issued Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays before conference games, with the final update issued 90 minutes before kickoff on Saturdays.
Players on the SEC availability reports are listed as available, probable, questionable, doubtful or out for their next game. On game day the updates will include available, game-time decision or out.
