LaNorris Sellers questionable for Arkansas as South Carolina’s showdown with No. 1 Georgia looms

South Carolina Gamecocks quarterback LaNorris Sellers is listed as questionable on the SEC availability report released Wednesday night, three days before the No. 17 Gamecocks play at the Arkansas Razorbacks. Receivers Nyck Harbor and Nitro Tuggle carry the same designation, and offensive lineman Seth Smith is among the players ruled out.

Sellers hurt his left ankle in the second quarter of last Saturday’s 17-9 win over the Texas A&M Aggies, when he was sandwiched between two defenders on a sack. He left for the final few minutes of the first half and walked to the locker room on his own.

“We’re concerned,” Shane Beamer told the ESPN broadcast at halftime.

Sellers came back to start the third quarter and finished 20-of-31 for 251 yards and a touchdown, adding 34 rushing yards on six carries. He also put the game away with a 41-yard touchdown run with 1:19 left, limping through the back of the end zone before two teammates helped him to the sideline.

BREAKING: South Carolina QB LaNorris Sellers has been listed as QUESTIONABLE for Saturday’s matchup against Arkansas, per Pete Thamel.

Sellers suffered an injury during the Gamecocks’ win over Texas A&M last weekend.

His status will be something to monitor as South Carolina prepares to take on the Razorbacks.

“Everything today looks good. I talked to him last night about 9:30 when I was at home. He felt good last night at 9:30. He felt good this morning. He got some tests today. Everything looked good with the tests, and we certainly feel good about his availability for this weekend,” Beamer said on his weekly teleconference Sunday.

Cutter Woods takes more reps as South Carolina eyes Georgia

Beamer said on Sunday that backup Cutter Woods would see more practice reps this week. Woods would be in line to start if Sellers cannot go in Fayetteville, and the Gamecocks would also be without Smith up front and possibly Harbor and Tuggle at receiver.

Last season Sellers left a loss to the Vanderbilt Commodores after a blow to the chin, was listed as questionable on the Wednesday report the following week and then started at the Missouri Tigers.

South Carolina has won four straight and sits at 6-3, while Arkansas is 3-6 and 1-5 in the SEC. After Fayetteville, the Gamecocks host the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs on Nov. 21, which puts any decision on Sellers this week in front of the biggest game left on their schedule.

The SEC requires teams to update the availability report through the week, with a final version due about 90 minutes before kickoff. South Carolina and Arkansas kick off at 7:45 p.m. ET Saturday on SEC Network.
