Tennessee running back DeSean Bishop out vs. Mississippi State

Tennessee running back DeSean Bishop will not play in the Mississippi State game on Saturday.

Bishop is listed as “out” on the SEC student-athlete availability report, which was released on Wednesday night. He suffered a lower-body injury in a 28-18 win over Kentucky last week.

Also, defensive lineman Tyre West is listed as questionable for the Mississippi State game.

Bishop, a former Karns standout, has served as Dylan Sampson’s backup during his redshirt freshman season. He has rushed for 372 yards and three TDs in eight games. Last week, freshman Peyton Lewis replaced Bishop in the rotation.

No. 7 Tennessee (7-1, 4-1 SEC) plays Mississippi State (2-7, 0-5) on Saturday (7 p.m. ET, ESPN) at Neyland Stadium.

Here’s the SEC student-athlete availability report for Tennessee and Mississippi State players.

How SEC availability report works

The SEC student-athlete availability report was introduced this 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.
