Shane Beamer updates South Carolina's injury status before Texas A&M game

South Carolina (4-2, 1-1) will play Texas A&M in front of packed stadium Saturday night and the Gamecocks will be a fairly healthy squad when they do it.

Running back Christian Beal-Smith and defensive tackle Alex Huntley are among the players that have been cleared for Saturday night.

Shane Beamer on injuries during his call-in show:

As good of a position health-wise as they have been since the opener.

Beal-Smith will play. Huntley's good.

This isn’t to say that the health report is completely perfect in Columbia. Wide receiver Corey Rucker will miss another game, his sixth straight, with an injury that can’t seem to get healed.

David Cloninger of the Post and Courier reported that edge rusher Terrell Dawkins practiced Thursday, but will not play.

Dawkins practiced today but won't play Saturday.

Rucker won't play. Will have a long-term diagnosis on him soon. https://t.co/mheXM3BksY
