South Carolina vs. Alabama injury report: Jared Brown ruled out
South Carolina wide receiver Jared Brown, who missed the Akron game and returned for Ole Miss only to have to exit the game early again, has already been ruled out for this week’s matchup with Alabama, according to the SEC’s first official availability report of the week which came out Wednesday night.
The mandatory report also continues to list offensive lineman Jakai Moore and defensive back Kelvin Hunter as “out.”
Senior defensive tackle Deandre Jules, who exited the Ole Miss game early, and freshman defensive back Jalewis Solomon are both “doubtful” for the game with the Crimson Tide.

Defensive back O’Donnell Fortune and wide receivers Dalevon Campbell and Vandrevius Jacobs are all listed as “probable” for the matchup.
Fortune didn’t play in the second half last week against Ole Miss but defensive coordinator Clayton White expressed confidence Wednesday in the guys that replaced him but also in Fortune’s chances to return to action this week.
“The guys that stepped up and came in and played, we always had confidence in them,” White said. “Feel great about O’Donnell being able to play this Saturday, just a little thing that had to get cleared up but I think that he should be ready to go.
“But the guys that came in between Vicari (Swain) and Judge (Collier), obviously Judge had a very productive football game. Emory (Floyd) came in, Emory slipped on a play but that’s life at corner, one play can almost get you six points. But I was proud of how those guys stepped up and they had the right look in their eyes and it seemed like they weren’t afraid. There was no wide-eyed stuff going on. I loved how they attacked it.”

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.
South Carolina and Alabama are set for a noon kickoff Saturday on ABC.
