Alabama Football released its third availability report of the week on Friday evening, providing an update ahead of their highly anticipated matchup against Tennessee. The No. 7 ranked Crimson Tide (5-1, 2-1 SEC) will face off against No. 11 Tennessee (5-1, 2-1 SEC) on Saturday, October 19, at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee. The game is set for a 2:45 p.m. CT kickoff and will be broadcast on ABC.
The most notable change to Alabama’s report is that cornerback Domani Jackson has been removed, indicating that he is now cleared to play in the upcoming game against Tennessee. Jackson’s availability is a positive development for Alabama’s defense as they prepare to face a tough opponent. Meanwhile, starting safety Keon Sabb and reserve lineman Yhonzae Pierre remain listed as probable, meaning they are expected to play but their status will be confirmed closer to game time. Freshmen Cayden Jones and Daniel Hill are still ruled out and will not be available for the Tennessee game.
On the other side, Tennessee also made updates to its availability report. The Volunteers removed running back Cameron Seldon and offensive lineman Lance Heard from their list. Seldon had previously been listed as questionable, while Heard was considered probable. Their removal from the report signals that both players are likely ready to participate in the game.
Both Alabama and Tennessee will issue final availability reports 90 minutes prior to kickoff, as required by conference regulations. These reports will confirm which players are officially available or unavailable for the game. With key players on both sides cleared to play, this SEC showdown is shaping up to be a competitive and exciting matchup. Fans from both teams are eagerly awaiting this crucial game as the two top-ranked programs battle for SEC supremacy.
