Tennessee football is less than 24 hours away from facing off against Vanderbilt in its regular season finale at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville. That means its time for the Friday night availability report for Tennessee at Vanderbilt.
The availability report is new to the SEC this season and is effectively an injury report with each team releasing a report every day from Wednesday to 90 minutes before kickoff on Saturday.
Tennessee is getting healthier this week and is poised to get running back De’Sean Bishop back in the fold after he missed games the last month of the season. But still, there’s a handful of Tennessee players who will miss the regular season finale due to injury and a few more whose status is up in the air.
The Friday night availability report has been the defining one for Tennessee this season. Tennessee has not changed its availability report from Friday to game day once this season.
With that, let’s take a look at the penultimate injury report for both Tennessee and Vanderbilt and some notes on each team’s report.
