(This has been updated at 2:22 p.m. with some additions to the starting lineup for Auburn.)
Running back Tristan Davis is not dressed out for today’s game. He suffered a concussion last week against LSU when he was kicked in the head on a kickoff return.
But making an appearance in pregame drills was wide receiver Chris Slaughter. Slaughter hasn’t played since the season opener and has been in Tommy Tuberville’s doghouse for the last three weeks. Is he out?
We’ll see ...
ADDS:
Josh Bynes will start at middle linebacker in place of Tray Blackmon, who has been slowed this week with an injured wrist. Ben Tate got the starting nod at running back. In the previous games, senior Brad Lester was the starter, but since Lester is dealing with a knee injury, he didn’t get the start.
Will Blackmon and/or Lester play? We’ll see.
