KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee released its first availability report of the season on Wednesday, ahead of its weekend matchup against Oklahoma. Reports online said the Vols were "relatively healthy" heading into the game.
Teams need to release availability reports on Wednesday nights, and updates need to be released on Thursday and Friday nights before a final report must be posted 90 minutes before kickoff. Players are either listed as out, doubtful, questionable or probable in the reports. The SEC said the reporting policy is meant to reduce pressure from "outside entities" who may want information about players participating in games.
The Vols' availability report included seven players, according to 247Sports. Those players are listed below.
- OL William Satterwhite: Probable
- LB Ben Bolton: Probable
- DB William Wright: Probable
- OL Lance Heard: Questionable
- DB Jourdan Thomas: Out
