Texas A&M has four players listed as questionable on the SEC Availability Report ahead of Saturday's matchup with Kentucky at Kyle Field.
Running back Jamarion Morrow, wide receivers Ashton Bethel-Roman and TK Norman, and defensive end Anto Saka are all listed as questionable for the Aggies.
Morrow has been part of Texas A&M's running back rotation through the first two games of the season, making his status one to monitor heading into the weekend. Bethel-Roman entered the season expected to play a significant role in the Aggies' wide receiver room, while Norman has also seen special teams action early in the year.
Saka is another notable name on the report after arriving at Texas A&M through the transfer portal. The defensive end recorded 30 pressures at Northwestern last season and has been part of the Aggies' defensive rotation this fall.
Kentucky, meanwhile, has two players listed as out and three others listed as questionable.
Tight end Lincoln Watkins and offensive lineman Jay Clark are both listed as out. Defensive backs Andre Clarke Jr. and Grant Grayton, along with defensive lineman Jamarion Harkless, are listed as questionable.
The SEC's availability report is part of a league-wide policy that requires member schools to publicly disclose player availability ahead of conference games. The policy was introduced for the 2024 football season and is intended to provide more transparency while reducing outside pressure on student-athletes regarding injury and availability information.
For football, the initial report is released three days before a conference game and is updated each day leading up to kickoff. Players can be designated as available, probable, questionable, doubtful or out on the pregame reports. On game day, the designations become available, game-time decision or out, with a final report released before kickoff.
That means there is still time for the statuses of Morrow, Bethel-Roman, Saka and Norman to change before Saturday's kickoff. The Aggies and Wildcats are scheduled to meet at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Kyle Field, with the game set to air on ESPN.
