  "account": "Vanderbilt's football team may see a return from tight end Cole Spence for their SEC opener against Auburn. Spence, who has not played this season, was marked as questionable on the initial availability report on September 23. This aligns with what coach Clark Lea had previously stated regarding Spence's progress - that he had resumed a level of activity.\n\nUnfortunately, Jaylin Lackey and Jamison Curtis remain sidelined. Lackey, who has not played this season due to a soft-tissue injury, will not feature in the upcoming game. Curtis had played in the team's first two matches but was absent during the game against NC State.\n\nDefensive lineman Aaron Bryant is out for the season after suffering a tear to his ACL. Furthermore, defensive lineman Nikhil Jefferson is also listed as questionable. On the offensive side, Vanderbilt's probable starters include Edge Brian Allen Jr., while OL Tai Buster and OL Jack Leyrer are listed as probable, while TE Hunter Herring is probable. Auburn's offensive line faces uncertainty with OL Tai Buster marked as questionable.",
