The initial SEC availability report for all teams was released on Wednesday, and the Tennessee Volunteers appear to be in good shape once again as they approach their matchup on Saturday evening against the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Knoxville.
According to the report, the Vols have two players on the report beyond those who have been out for an extended time: RB DeSean Bishop and DE Tyre West.
Bishop is listed as out for the game on Saturday. He suffered a lower body injury during the Vols’ 28-18 win over Kentucky. Bishop has been Dylan Sampson’s primary backup this season, second on the team in rushing yards (372) and second among running backs in attempts (54). Peyton Lewis should step into the primary backup role on Saturday. West is listed on the report as questionable.
