Tennessee football TE Ethan Davis, WR Travis Smith out vs Arkansas

-

Tennessee football tight end Ethan Davis and wide receiver Travis Smith are out for today's game against Arkansas.

But defensive tackle Daevin Hobbs is set to make his 2025 debut after missing the first five games with a foot injury.

Davis and Smith are among five Tennessee players listed on the final SEC student-athlete availability report, which was released 90 minutes before the game.

No. 12 Tennessee (4-1, 1-1 SEC) plays Arkansas (2-3, 0-1) at Neyland Stadium at 4:15 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on SEC Network.

This is Davis' third straight game out of the lineup due to an unspecified injury. He is the team's No. 2 tight end, but he has only one reception this season. With Davis out, freshman Jack Van Dorselaer should fill in after he played well late in UT's 41-34 overtime win over Mississippi State.

Smith was added to the injury list on Oct. 10. He is a freshman but also UT's fourth receiver in the rotation, and freshman receiver Radarious Jackson is already out with an upper-body injury. Starting receivers Chris Brazzell, Mike Matthews and Braylon Staley are healthy, but there are few options behind them.

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 night 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.

Trace Carroll, close friend of ASU's Dillingham, takes over as Chaparral football coach

-
Trace Carroll, who was teammates and best friends with Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham in high school, is returning to Scottsdale Chaparral to lead the football program. Carroll played for two of the greatest high school coaches in Arizona history, Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle. He played at the tail end of Estabrook's career and the start of Ragle's tenure at the school. He was an offensive lineman, next to future NFL tackle Taylor Lewan, on the 2008 team that reached the state final, before losing to Scottsdale Saguaro. The quarterback of that team, Spencer Stone, is actress Emma Stone's brother. "As a proud alumni and as a former football player at Chaparral for Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle, I look forward to continuing the program’s great success," Carroll said. Carroll, like Dillingham, got into coaching almost immediately after graduating from high school, helping Ragle out at Chaparral. He spent the past six years as a quarterbacks coach at P...

Cleveland Guardians sign Tanner Bibee to long-term contract extension

-

Tanner Bibee emerged a central piece to the Guardians’ future last season. He’ll now remain in Cleveland until at least 2029. The Guardians signed the right-hander to a five-year contract extension through the 2029 season that includes a club option for 2030, the club announced Saturday afternoon. Bibee was set to become a free agent after the 2028 season. This extension eats up one and potentially two years of his free agent eligibility. For Bibee, it allows him to receive his first major payday without further injury risk. For the Guardians, it allows them to retain him for an extra season or two by giving him some early financial guarantees. Last year, Bibee took over as the club’s No. 1 starter after Shane Bieber needed Tommy John surgery , Gavin Williams missed most of the season with his own injury issues and Triston McKenzie lost his command to the point of needing to be sent to Triple-A Columbus. Bibee was recently named as the club’s Opening Day starter . This article...
