The Ole Miss Rebels are looking to bounce back from an upset loss when they travel to Columbia to take on the South Carolina Gamecocks. Ahead of that game, each team shared its injury report on the Thursday before the game.

Coming into the game, the biggest question is the status of South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers. He suffered an ankle injury late in the game against LSU that forced him to miss South Carolina’s Week 4 game. On Wednesday, he practiced and was listed as questionable on the injury report. On top of that, head coach Shane Beamer has listed him as the starting quarterback on the team’s depth chart.

While Sellers is the biggest concern going into the game, both Ole Miss and South Carolina have several other players whose status is up in the air going into the game. You can view the full list of players appearing on the Thursday injury report here.

South Carolina is coming off a win over Akron, which saw the Gamecocks play shorthanded. Not only were they without LaNorris Sellers, but the Gamecocks only gave running back Rocket Sanders one carry before he left that game with his own ankle injury.

In place of LaNorris Sellers, Robby Ashford took over and played well. Despite that, offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains made it clear that Sellers is still the team’s quarterback once he’s healthy enough to play.

“LaNorris Sellers is our quarterback,” Loggains said. “I will say that.”

For the Gamecocks, the key to beating Ole Miss is going to be on the defensive side of the ball, though. Ole Miss has an explosive offense but the Rebels were held in check by Kentucky‘s defense, and in particular the Kentucky defensive line.

Another key storyline is going to be centered around Ole Miss wide receiver Juice Wells. A transfer into the program from South Carolina, this game is going to represent a kind of homecoming for Wells, though Shane Beamer has downplayed that.

“I think that’s every game,” Beamer said. “You want to make sure you play with great poise. They’ve got a good football team and I know we’re gonna get the best version of Ole Miss. What we’re focusing on is that they get the best version of South Carolina. They’ve got a lot of really good players on offense. Juice is a good player, but when you sit there and watch [Tre Harris], they threw him the ball 15 times Saturday. So we better be not caught up in one player. We better be aware of him.”

Ole Miss and South Carolina will kickoff at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium.
