- Quarterback Luke Doty is back on the Gamecocks’ depth chart this week, and coaches are optimistic he’ll return for the ECU game after suffering a left foot sprain in fall camp. Doty, no longer in a boot, told reporters on Tuesday his main recovery priority is getting comfortable running again.
- Running back Kevin Harris didn’t play on Saturday due to an illness, head coach Shane Beamer said, but he should also be back for East Carolina. Harris was limited throughout fall practice as he recovered from offseason back surgery, but he’s been cleared for contact since before Week 1.
- Safety R.J. Roderick, who was suspended for the season opener along with four other unnamed players per a report from radio play-by-play voice Todd Ellis, will be back on the field against ECU, defensive coordinator Clayton White said. Those suspended players missed the first game because of “disciplinary issues,” Beamer told reporters after the game Saturday.
- Wide receiver Randrecous Davis remains away from the team while he recovers from health issues, Beamer said on Wednesday’s SEC coaches conference call.
- Defensive lineman Rick Sandidge had his left foot in a cast for the Eastern Illinois game and will continue to recover from injury this week.
