South Carolina’s Dylan Stewart Suffers Injury, Added to Report
With the South Carolina Gamecocks preparing to face the Ole Miss Rebels, EDGE player Dylan Stewart has been added to the SEC availability report. This announcement comes less than 24 hours before the game, scheduled for Saturday night in Oxford.
Dylan Stewart’s Injury Update
Dylan Stewart, a sophomore and key pass-rusher, is listed as questionable for this matchup. He was not included in the injury report earlier in the week, but a hip injury sustained against Oklahoma has raised concerns about his ability to play. Despite this setback, he managed to participate in last week’s game against Alabama.
Current Team Injuries
- Dylan Stewart: Questionable due to a hip injury.
- Jayden Sellers: Ruled out for the game. He has nine receptions for 95 yards this season.
- Buddy Mack III: Out for this week, affecting special teams performance.
- Maurice Brown II: Expected to play despite leaving last week’s game with an injury.
- Cason Henry: Out for the season.
Head coach Shane Beamer confirmed the status of several players on his Thursday call-in show. While he excluded Stewart from comment, he specifically noted that Sellers and Mack would not be available for the upcoming game. However, he expressed optimism about Brown’s return and mentioned that player Nolan Hay would also be available if necessary.
Understanding SEC Injury Reporting
The SEC has implemented a structured injury reporting system for football and other sports. Teams must submit availability reports three days before game day, with updates leading up to the final report 90 minutes before kickoff. Players are categorized as available, probable, doubtful, and questionable until game time.
The Gamecocks and Rebels are set to kick off at 7 p.m. ET at Vaught Hemingway Stadium. ESPN will broadcast the game live, allowing fans to closely follow this exciting SEC matchup.
