Auburn Captain Champ Anthony Listed Out on Initial SEC Report for Vanderbilt Game

The conference listing follows practice sightings of the safety on crutches, with further updates due before Saturday's kickoff.

Overview

Anthony exited last week’s loss to Kentucky early and was observed on crutches during Tuesday’s practice, according to local reporting.
The SEC’s first availability report posted Nov. 5 lists Anthony as out for the Nov. 8 game at Vanderbilt, with additional reports scheduled through Friday and a final pregame update.
Auburn also listed four players as out: center Connor Lew, receivers Horatio Fields and Sam Turner, and cornerback Donovan Starr.
Four Tigers were labeled questionable: tight end Brandon Frazier, kicker Connor Gibbs, linebacker Elijah Melendez, and defensive lineman Jourdin Crawford.
Anthony previously missed time with a broken thumb this season after a 2024 campaign cut short by a leg injury, which reporting indicates is the same leg now affected.
