South Carolina Dealing With Multiple Injuries as Kentucky Matchup Approaches

Six players are expected to sit on the sidelines as South Carolina prepares to face Kentucky on Saturday night. Coach Shane Beamer spoke about his team's health woes during Sunday's briefing.

Both teams are looking to grab their first conference win this weekend. The Gamecocks sit 2-2, 0-2 SEC while Kentucky has a 2-1, 0-1 SEC record.

The injury report has listed Buddy Mack, Nolan Hay, Cason Henry, and Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy as doubtful. DQ Smith and Judge Collier remain on the bench with their playing time in Saturday's matchup being questionable.

The first snap from last week's game spelled trouble when tackle Cason Henry's shoulder gave out. Later in the game, tackle Gabe Brownlow-Dindy went down with an unspecified injury. The medical staff continues to check both players.

Three more players watched from the bench during the Missouri clash — Judge Collier, who hasn't stepped on the field since week one, safety DQ Smith, and tight end Michael Smith.

This week's chart mirrors last week's setup, despite midgame switches. LaNorris Sellers stays at QB1, backed by Luke Doty. The staff stuck with their previous picks, even after making quick changes during play. Oscar Adaway III, Rahsul Faison, and Isaiah Augustave will be the starting running backs. 

The injury report was released on Wednesday night but there is plenty of time before kick off for the lineup to change. Beamer will share the latest on who's in and who's out before the Kentucky showdown kicks off.
