Tennessee, Vanderbilt update Friday night injury reports
Tennessee and Vanderbilt updated their injury reports Friday night. Safety Christian Charles and Jordan Ross have been downgraded from questionable to out for the Vols and offensive guard Jackson Lampley has been removed from the report, meaning he available to play in Saturday afternoon’s game at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville, a Noon Eastern Time kickoff on ABC.
Lampley has played a key role in the offensive line especially the last few weeks. Lampley, Charles and Ross were all listed as questionable by the Vols on the first injury report of the week on Wednesday and had the same status Thursday.
Redshirt freshman running back DeSean Bishop not being listed on Wednesday’s injury report was the most notable news of the week. Bishop has missed the last three games after being injured early in the win over Kentucky a month ago.
Tennessee (9-2, 5-2 SEC) is looking to play its way into the 12-team College Football Playoff with a win at Vanderbilt (6-5, 3-4) on Saturday. The Vols and Commodores will update their injury reports again on Friday night, then one final time on Saturday morning, approximately 90 minutes before kickoff.

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.
