Tennessee QB Brandon Questionable for Arkansas Clash

Tennessee's offensive unit faces uncertainty as quarterback Faizon Brandon and running back Javin Gordon are listed as questionable for the upcoming matchup against Arkansas. Brandon is nursing a shoulder injury, while Gordon's status is due to a leg injury. The team is already grappling with a severe injury situation.

Seven Tennessee players have been sidelined for the remainder of the season due to various injuries. This list includes starting left guard Wendell Moe, starting safety Edrees Farooq, and starting tight end Ethan Davis, all of whom suffered knee injuries. Other season-ending injuries impact defensive lineman Dylan Lewis (foot), wide receiver/kick returner Joakim Dodson (leg), linebacker Jaedon Harmon (knee), and cornerback Jadais Richard (upper-body).

The SEC's availability report, implemented for conference games in the 2024 season, serves to inform teams and fans about player statuses. This report undergoes daily updates, culminating in a final designation 90 minutes before kickoff. Schools face penalties for non-compliance with the accurate reporting of player participation.
