Look: Thursday's injury list update for Tennessee, Arkansas
No. 4 Tennessee and Arkansas updated their injury reports Thursday night, ahead of Saturday night’s 7:30 Eastern Time game (TV: ABC) at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville. Most notably, starting tackles Lance Heard and John Campbell stayed off the list for a second straight day.
The only Tennessee player on Thursday’s injury list junior defensive back Jourdan Thomas, sophomore defensive back John Slaughter, freshman linebacker Edwin Spillman and walk-on defensive back Montrell Bandy.
Arkansas had five players listed as out, one player listed as doubtful, two as questionable and two as probable.
Heard has missed Tennessee’s last two games due to an ankle issue. He didn’t travel with the Vols to Oklahoma for the 25-15 win over the Sooners. Campbell left the Oklahoma game early.
Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said last week that he expected both Heard and Campbell to be ready to play for the Vols at Arkansas.

SEC Availability 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.
