LaNorris Sellers’ status for South Carolina’s game against Arkansas is in question.
Sellers, a third-year starting quarterback, is a game-time decision for the Gamecocks’ game on Saturday, Nov. 14, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel. He’s expected to be available against the Razorbacks, although it’s unclear if he’ll start.

Sellers suffered a lower-body injury against Texas A&M last week that sidelined him just before halftime, with him leaving the game for the locker room. He then returned for the second half and scrambled for a limping touchdown that secured South Carolina’s 17-9 win.
Sellers has been listed as probably on the SEC availability report this week prior to the game.

Will LaNorris Sellers play today vs Arkansas?
Sellers is a game-time decision against Arkansas after suffering a lower-body injury against Texas A&M in Week 10.
While Sellers is expected to be available, his game-time decision status is based on his ability to start. Given Arkansas’ struggles this season, it would make sense to rest the star quarterback especially ahead of games against Georgia and in-state rival Clemson to end the regular season.
Sellers has been listed as probably on the SEC availability report this week. It could be a similar situation to Alabama, which is starting backup quarterback Austin Mack despite Keelon Russell being available after Russell suffered a similar injury against LSU last week.
