The first availability report for South Carolina and its game against Missouri this weekend was released on Wednesday night. The Gamecocks (6-3, 4-3) were relatively healthy entering last week’s game, but emerged from the victory over Vanderbilt a bit banged up.

The good news for the Gamecocks is that they are scheduled to get defensive tackle DeAndre Jules back this week to face the Tigers (7-2, 3-2) but there are others whose statuses are in question.

Here’s the latest availability report for both teams, as released by the Southeastern Conference:

SOUTH CAROLINA
RB Matthew Fuller (Out)
OL Jakai Moore (Out)
DT Nick Barrett (Out)
DL Gilber Edmond (Doubtful)
DB DQ Smith (Probable)
OL Josiah Thompson (Probable)

MISSOURI
DE Darris Smith (Out)
QB Sam Horn (Out)
LB Khalil Jacobs (Out)
DE Joe Moore (Out)
OL Connor Tollison (Out)
WR Mookie Cooper (Doubtful)
QB Brady Cook (Doubtful)
LB Brayshawn Littlejohn (Questionable)

South Carolina returns to action this Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium to take on Missouri. Kickoff is set for 4:15 p.m. with broadcast coverage on the SEC Network. The Gamecocks will look to snap a five-game losing streak to the Tigers.

The SEC is requiring availability reports this season for the first time in its conference history. The availability report mandate only applies to games against conference opponents, so each school will only have to abide by the guidelines for eight of their 12 games in a given regular season.

Schools must release their initial availability report by 8 p.m. on Wednesday of each week and must update it daily with a final report coming 90 minutes prior to kickoff. Player status designations include “available,” “probable,” “questionable,” “doubtful,” or “out” before game day; and as “available,” “game time decision,” or “out” on game day.

There are consequences for non-compliance, which includes both inaccurate and late reporting, with fines to the school ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 for football.
