Tennessee football is 90 minutes away from kicking off its SEC matchup against Kentucky at Neyland Stadium. That means it’s time for the final and official availability report for the border matchup.
The availability report is new this season and is effectively an injury report that each team releases every night up until kickoff.
Tennessee is healthy entering November besides a pair of season ending injuries to starting defenders. After having a few offensive players banged up heading into the Alabama, the Vols are healthy and rested coming out of their second open date of the season.
Kentucky, on the other hand, is extremely banged up ahead of the matchup. The Wildcats are down a number of starters, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.
With that, let’s take a look at the Tennessee-Kentucky gameday availability report including some notes on the report for both teams.

Kentucky Notes
The only change for Kentucky is that defensive back Nasir Anderson is good to go after being listed a probable on Friday night. Still, 13 different Wildcats are out for the game including defensive starters Maxwell Hairston, DJ Waller, D’Eryk Jackson and JJ Weaver as well as offensive starters Gerald Mincey and Jordan Dingle.
Mincey is a Tennessee transfer and talked an abundance of trash about the Vols this offseason. He suffered an injury two weeks ago and Florida and also missed last week’s game against Auburn.
