FAYETTEVILLE -- The SEC released the first player availability report Wednesday night for the Arkansas football team's Week 7 game at No. 12 Tennessee.
The most notable updates for the Razorbacks (2-3, 0-1 SEC) are defensive tackle David Oke, tight end Andreas Paaske and defensive back Quentavius Scandrett being listed as out.
Oke missed the team's first two games with a knee injury but returned in time for the Week 3 game at Ole Miss. He also played against Memphis and Notre Dame. The reason for Paaske and Scandrett being unavailable has not been publicly disclosed this week by Arkansas interim coach Bobby Petrino.
As expected, receivers Jalen Brown and Monte Harrison were listed as out on the report. Brown suffered a season-ending injury Sept. 27 against Notre Dame with a broken tibia and fibula in his left leg, and Harrison broke his left foot Sept. 6 versus Arkansas State.
Other players who are out for the Razorbacks include running back AJ Green, tight end Jeremiah Beck and receiver Ismael Cisse, who is likely out for the season after an offseason wrist injury.
Arkansas freshman receiver Antonio Jordan has not played this year due to a high ankle sprain ahead of the season opener but was not listed on this week's report, indicating he is available.
The Volunteers (4-1, 1-1) had 10 players on their Week 5 availability report ahead of a 41-34 overtime victory at Mississippi State. After an open week, that number has shrunk to four, with receiver Radarious Jackson and defensive backs Jermod McCoy and Rickey Gibson out, and tight end Ethan Davis questionable.
McCoy was an All-America second team selection last year by The Associated Press after recording 13 passes defended with four interceptions and nine pass breakups. He was an All-SEC first team honoree by the AP.
McCoy tore his ACL in January and has not been available yet this season while rehabbing from the injury. On3 reported Monday that he has yet to go through a full practice and has not taken any contact.
Saturday's game at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee, is scheduled to begin at 3:15 p.m. Central on SEC Network.
The conference requires availability reports for football games between SEC opponents. Arkansas and Tennessee must submit daily updates leading up to a final report 90 minutes prior to kickoff Saturday. This week, that report will be due at 1:45 p.m. Central.
Schools that report late or inaccurately will be penalized between $25,000 and $100,000.
