Friday night's updated injury reports for Tennessee, Arkansas
Tennessee Football appears to be healthy coming off the bye week. The Vols on Friday night updated their injury report for Saturday’s game at Arkansas, again with just four players on the list.
Junior defensive back Jourdan Thomas, sophomore defensive back John Slaughter, freshman linebacker Edwin Spillman and walk-on defensive back Montrell Bandy were all listed as out by Tennessee on Friday.
Tennessee (4-0, 1-0 SEC) and Arkansas (3-2, 1-1) are scheduled for a 7:30 Eastern Time start (TV: ABC) Saturday at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville.
Starting tackles Lance Heard and John Campbell have not been off the list this week. Heard missed the last two games with an ankle issue and Campbell left the Oklahoma game early two weeks ago.
Arkansas has six players listed as out: Defensive back Jaylon Braxton, defensive back Miguel Mitchell, running back Rodney Hill, offensive lineman Patrick Kutas, wide receiver Khafre Brown and tight end Andreas Paaske.
Tight ends Ty Washington and Luke Hasz are questionable.
Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said there was “concern” with his team beating beat up coming off a 21-17 loss to Texas A&M last week in Dallas.
“We’re going to have to do a good job with some of our key players mentally,” Pittman said Monday, previewing his team’s week of practice, “because we’re not probably going have them for at least a couple of days, some, and maybe get them back on Wednesday, hopefully.

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.
