Faizon Brandon remains questionable for Tennessee football vs Arkansas, injury update

Tennessee football has kept quarterback Faizon Brandon as a questionable player for their upcoming game against Arkansas on Oct. 10. Brandon sustained an apparent right shoulder injury in a September match against Texas. He was substituted in the second quarter of an October game against Auburn, allowing George MacIntyre to start and lead the team to victory.

MacIntyre is reportedly set to make his first career start against Arkansas, though no confirmation has been provided by Heupel. Seven Tennessee players have already sustained injuries that ended their season, including a starting left guard, two defensive players, a tight end, a kickoff returner/wide receiver, a linebacker, and a cornerback.

The NCAA introduced the SEC student-athlete availability report in the 2024 season for conference games. This report is initially published on Wednesday of an SEC game week and updated daily until a final update 90 minutes prior to kick-off. Players are assigned designations such as available, probable, questionable, doubtful, or out for the game.
