Official injury report on LaNorris Sellers, Rocket Sanders, Jared Brown

As South Carolina prepares for another key Top 10 SEC matchup at Williams-Brice Stadium, the Gamecocks continue monitoring the injury status of quarterback LaNorris Sellers, running back Rocket Sanders, and wide receiver Jared Brown.

The program released its first official SEC media availability report of the week for the Ole Miss game on Wednesday night which listed Sellers, Sanders, and Brown as “questionable” for the matchup.

The SEC-mandated list also has freshman defensive back Kelvin Hunter listed as “doubtful” and offensive lineman Jakai Moore as “out.”

Ole Miss also listed several key contributors as “questionable” including superstar wide receiver Tre Harris, EDGE Princely Umanmielen, defensive tackle JJ Pegues, and running back Henry Parrish — all starters for the Rebels.

Both Sellers and Brown were injured late in the first half of the LSU game three weeks ago. Sellers, who has an ankle injury, returned for one drive in the second half but did not play the rest of the game. Neither suited up versus Akron two weeks ago.

Sanders entered the matchup with the Zips in good health but exited early in the game with an ankle injury.

Head coach Shane Beamer last spoke on the trio of starters on Tuesday during his weekly press conference.

“LaNorris and Rocket were both out there. They both looked good,” Beamer said. “Were they 100 percent? I wouldn’t say they were 100 percent but they both told me they felt great. And they look good and they’ll both be able to do even more tomorrow I would think as well.”

The next injury reports will come on Thursday.

Beamer is scheduled to speak at 6 p.m. on his call-in show and provides an injury update then followed by another official SEC availability report at 8 p.m.

The SEC recently approved a player availability injury report system for football, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball.

SEC school personnel must submit availability reports three days before each football game, with daily updates leading to a final report 90 minutes before game time. For basketball and baseball, reports are filed the night before, with an update on game day.

According to the SEC, penalties for inaccurate or late reports will range from $25,000 to $100,000 for football and anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 for basketball and baseball.

When schools submit injury reports, players will be designated as available, probable, doubtful, and questionable before game day. On game day, designations will be available, game-time decision or out. The model follows injury reports similar to the NFL.
