For the first time in the conference’s history, the SEC is requiring teams to provide a full injury report for each conference matchup.
Whether for betting, fairness, or simply transparency, college football injury reports are here.
The Week 3 SEC slate features three conference games. Who is in and out this weekend, and which top quarterback is a true game-time decision on in Week 3?
Latest Week 3 SEC Injury And Availability Report
In an effort to be more transparent, the SEC is joining the Big Ten in requiring injury and availability reports for conference games.
Each game week, teams playing a conference foe will be required to release a “Student-Athlete Availability Report” each Wednesday, which is to be updated Thursday, Friday, and 90 minutes prior to kickoff.
Players will be listed as “Out,” “Doubtful,” “Questionable,” or “Probable,” to use terms similar to those used in professional sports.
Players can flow between these designations throughout the week leading up to the final injury report 90 minutes prior to game time.
Teams that do not follow procedures will be subject to fines that escalate in severity each week. Players who have already been declared out for the year or an extended period of time do not need to be included in the report.
Alabama Crimson Tide
Alabama is only required to report injuries and availability for conference games as per SEC regulations for the 2024 season.

Ja’Keem Jackson left early against Samford and did not return. He’s out Saturday, as is Asa Turner, who started at safety against Miami but hasn’t played since leaving that game early.
The biggest question will be whether top receiver Eugene Wilson III can go. He’s a true game-time decision for the Gators.
Quarterback Graham Mertz will return after missing the Samford game with a concussion, but sources have indicated that true freshman backup D.J. Lagway will also play for the Gators.
Georgia Bulldogs

- Roderick Robinson III, RB, Out
- Jordan Hall, DL, Out
- Mykel Williams, DL, Out

Georgia is relatively healthy heading into its first conference game.
Roderick Robinson is dealing with a turf toe injury with an unclear timeline to return.
Mykel Williams, who has first-round upside, went down on a chop block in the opener. While he’s expected to return this season, it’s not going to happen this week this week.
Reserve defensive linemen Warren Brinson and Jordan Hall were downgraded from doubtful to out after registering a combined three snaps this season. Xzavier McLeod was upgraded from doubtful to questionable Friday evening.

The Wildcats are a bit banged up, with starters Devin Smith, Chip Trayanum and Courtland Ford remaining out. Primary backup running back Jason Patterson will also miss the Georgia game.
Trayanum could return as early as next week, but he’s out against Georgia.
Offensive lineman Gerald Mincey and defensive back Maxwell Hairston, who were orignally marked as probable has been downgraded to questionable, while quarterback Brock Vandagriff showed up on the Kentucky availability report Thursday night. He’s probable against Georgia Saturday night.

John Emery and Jacobian Guillory recently suffered season-ending injuries, and three other starters are questionable heading into Week 3.
Safety Jordan Allen and edge rusher Da’Shawn Wommack were previously questionable, but are out against the Gamecocks. Linebacker West Weeks is going to be in a game-time decision spot. Wommack and Weeks, in particular, would be big losses for the LSU front.
The Tigers thought they could get receiver Chris Hilton Jr. back after he missed the first two games of the season, but he’s also out Saturday, leaving the Tigers a bit banged up against the Gamecocks.
