Who is on Auburn's first injury report ahead of the Iron Bowl?

The SEC has released its initial Student-Athlete Availability Report for rivalry week across the conference.

There are no surprises for the Auburn Tigers as the players ruled "out" for the game sustained serious injuries weeks prior. Champ Anthony, Horatio Fields, Demarcus Riddick, Sam Turner, and Connor Lew are ruled out for Saturday's game, while Sylvester Smith will miss the first half after committing a targeting foul against Mercer last Saturday.

Keldric Faulk, who missed the second half of Saturday's game vs. Mercer, is set to return for this week's game with Alabama according to Auburn interim head coach DJ Durkin.

“He’ll be ready to go. He’s got dinged up a little bit, and we were at a point in that game where he didn’t need to keep playing in that game based on the situation,” Durkin said earlier this week.

Alabama's report is rather lengthy as eight players, including Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. and Kevin Riley, are ruled out while wide receiver Germie Bernard and offensive lineman Parker Brailsford are listed as "probable" for the Iron Bowl.

The Auburn Tigers will face No. 10 Alabama on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. CT at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn. ABC will broadcast the game.
