Tennessee football running back Daune Morris was added to SEC student-athlete availability report on Nov. 13.

Morris broke his leg in a car crash on Nov. 13 and will miss the rest of the season.

He appeared on the third SEC student-athlete availability report on Nov. 13. It will be updated 90 minutes before the game.

Morris rushed 66 times for 434 yards and three touchdowns for the Vols this season as the primary backup to Heisman Trophy candidate DeSean Bishop. He also had six catches for 35 yards.

Tulane transfer Javin Gordon is next in line in the backfield rotation. He has 28 carries for 129 yards, missing four games around midseason due to injury. Sophomore Justin Baker is another option. He has rushed for 91 yards and one TD.

On Nov. 12, starting left guard Nic Moore was ruled out for the Texas A&M game.

Moore is out due to an illness, a source told Knox News on Nov. 13. The source requested anonymity because UT has not announced details of Moore's condition.

UT has two likely options to replace Moore. Sham Umarov could start at left guard or right tackle Jesse Perry could slide into a guard spot and Ory Williams start at right tackle.

How SEC availability report works

The SEC student-athlete availability report was introduced in the 2024 season for conference games only.

The initial report is released on Wednesday of an SEC game week, with daily updates leading to a final report 90 minutes prior to kickoff of a Saturday game.

Prior to game day, players are designated by their school as available, probable, questionable, doubtful or out for the upcoming game. On game day, they are designated as available, game-time decision or out.

Here’s what those designations mean:

• Out: Will not play, 0% chance to play.

• Doubtful: Unlikely to play, 25% chance to play.

• Questionable: Uncertain to play, 50% chance to play.

• Probable: Probable to play, 75% chance to play.

Per SEC policy, schools must accurately designate players’ participation status. If the school has knowledge that a player may not be able to participate in the upcoming game for any reason (injury, illness, suspension, ineligibility or personal matter), it must report it.

Failure to do so will subject schools to potential penalties ranging from $25,000 for a first offense to $100,000 for a third and further offenses.
