Beamer expects LaNorris Sellers to play; SEC availability report lists Nyck Harbor, Quincy Rhodes questionable for Arkansas-South Carolina

South Carolina lists key players

Sellers was listed as questionable after injuring his left ankle in South Carolina’s 17-9 win over Texas A&M on Nov. 7. Beamer said Sunday that he expected Sellers to play against Arkansas, and said Tuesday that his status had not changed.

Beamer said Sellers felt good the previous night and that morning, and that tests looked good. He characterized concern about the injury as “very low,” according to the coach’s comments in the report.

If Sellers cannot play, sophomore Cutter Woods is South Carolina’s backup. Woods has completed 19 of 28 career passes for 169 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He started against Kentucky on Oct. 3, though Sellers took most of the reps.

Harbor also questionable

Receiver Nyck Harbor was listed as questionable. He has 24 catches for 404 yards and three touchdowns this season, and has dealt with injuries at different points. South Carolina receiver Nitro Tuggle and defensive back J’Zavien Currence were also listed as questionable. The Gamecocks host No. 1 Georgia on Nov. 21.

Rhodes status uncertain

Arkansas defensive lineman Quincy Rhodes Jr. was listed as questionable after an injury against Missouri on Oct. 31. He was a gametime decision against Auburn and played in that game.

Arkansas coach Silverfield said Rhodes finished the previous week and the Auburn game in pain, but tried to practice. Silverfield said Rhodes was determined to do what he could to play, adding that the team was banged up.

More reports before kickoff

Running back Braylen Russell and receiver Chris Marshall were not listed. Silverfield had said Russell was dealing with a lower-leg injury against Auburn; Marshall returned against Auburn after missing the Missouri game with an injury sustained against Vanderbilt.

Availability reports are due Thursday and Friday night, followed by another 90 minutes before Saturday’s 6:45 p.m. kickoff at Razorback Stadium. Arkansas is set to face No. 17 South Carolina.
