Tennessee updates status of Lance Heard, Cam Seldon on Friday injury report
No. 11 Tennessee and No. 7 updated their injury reports Friday, with the Vols removing redshirt freshman Lance Heard and redshirt freshman running back Cameron Seldon from the report. Heard had been listed as probable and Seldon as questionable the previous two days.
The final injury report update will be issued at approximate 2 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Tennessee (5-1, 2-1 SEC) didn’t have any changes on Wednesday and Thursday. Heard missed the Oklahoma game on September 21 with an ankle issue, but has played in Tennessee’s last two games. Seldon hasn’t played since Oklahoma.
Seldon has carried seven times for 47 yards this season and has also been deep for Tennessee on kickoffs. All seven carries came against Chattanooga in Tennessee’s season-opening 69-3 win on August 31 at Neyland Stadium. He returned one kickoff against the Mocs for 35 yards.
The SEC mandates availability reports be issued Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays before conference games, with the final update issued 90 minutes before kickoff on Saturdays.
Players on the SEC availability reports are listed as available, probable, questionable, doubtful or out for their next game. On game day the updates will include available, game-time decision or out.

SEC Injury Reports
The SEC in August announced “availability reports” for football, basketball and baseball.
“This availability reporting policy is intended to reduce pressure from outside entities seeking participation information,” said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, “and represents a commitment of our 16 institutions to provide enhanced transparency to support efforts to protect our student-athletes and the integrity of competition.”
Players will be listed as available, probable, questionable, doubtful or out for their next game. On game day the updates will include available, game-time decision or out.
Schools of who fail to provide accurate and timely availability reports will be subject to penalties from $25,000, for first-time offenders, to $100,000 for “third and further” offenses in football. Men’s basketball, women’s basketball and baseball fines will be between $15,000 and $25,000.
