  "account": "Vanderbilt football faces an uncertain lineup for its upcoming SEC opener against Auburn. Tight end Cole Spence, who has not played this season, is listed as questionable on the SEC's initial availability report. This aligns with Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea's statement that Spence has returned to some activity. Jaylin Lackey and Jamison Curtis remain out of action, with Lackey sidelined due to a soft-tissue injury and Curtis having played in the first two games but not in the recent one against NC State. Defensive lineman Aaron Bryant has been ruled out for the season after tearing his ACL. Additionally, defensive lineman Nikhil Jefferson is also questionable, while edge rusher Brian Allen Jr. is probable. For Auburn, offensive lineman Tai Buster is out, while offensive lineman Jack Leyrer and tight end Hunter Herring are probable. This injury report will be updated as more information becomes available.",
