Ad Disclosure
Though sometimes the lines are blurred for fans, let’s make one thing clear: the SEC is not the NFL.
And as such, the information provided on injuries to college players just isn’t nearly as forthcoming or reliable as the weekly injury reports published by the NFL.
Thus, we will be doing our best to keep you as informed as possible about the injury situation for all 14 SEC teams this season.
Here’s a look at things as of Oct. 2, 2015:
