Mississippi State — major reinforcement cleared to play. Defensive lineman Eddie Kelly Jr. has finally been cleared for the 2026 season and is eligible to make his Bulldogs debut Saturday against No. 19 Missouri. Kelly transferred from West Virginia in July but had been awaiting an eligibility decision. His clearance comes at an important time: Mississippi State has already lost defensive linemen Colin Coates, Diesel Moye and Trevion Williams for the season. Kelly has 103 career tackles and gives the Bulldogs badly needed experienced depth up front.

Georgia — Nate Frazier now officially questionable. Starting running back Nate Frazier is listed questionable for Saturday’s SEC game against Oklahoma after leaving last week’s Arkansas game with an injury. Coach Kirby Smart had said earlier in the week that he expected Frazier to play, so his appearance on the official availability report is worth watching. Wide receiver Isiah Canion is also questionable.

Texas A&M — KJ Edwards cleared to return. Freshman running back KJ Edwards is off the availability report and expected to return against LSU after missing the Kentucky loss. His return is significant for an Aggies offense already dealing with the season-ending loss of Terry Bussey.
