The SEC availability report lists Tennessee safety Dylan Lewis as out and two other Volunteers as questionable against Texas.

Key takeaways
Tennessee safety Dylan Lewis is listed as out for the Volunteers’ Week 4 game against Texas. His designation settles his status for this matchup: Lewis will not play.
Two other Tennessee players are listed as questionable. Their designations leave their availability unresolved ahead of the game. The SEC availability report covers injury updates for Tennessee and Texas, placing both teams’ listed statuses in the Week 4 record.
For Tennessee, the immediate distinction is clear. Lewis has been ruled out, while the two questionable Volunteers do not yet have a settled game status. The report applies to the Texas matchup rather than serving as an assessment of their availability for the rest of Tennessee’s season.
The next development will be any change to the two questionable Tennessee designations before the game. An updated designation could clarify whether either player can take part against Texas.
Texas also has injury updates in the SEC report for the same Week 4 matchup. Later changes for either roster would shape the final availability picture, but Lewis remains listed as out unless his designation is revised.
The categories separate a confirmed absence from unresolved cases. Lewis is Tennessee’s confirmed absence, while the two other Volunteers remain questionable. Further updates to the report will determine whether Tennessee enters the game with additional unavailable players.
