STARKVILLE, Miss. – Mississippi State will be a part of the SEC’s Player Availability Report for the first time this season as the Bulldogs prepare to host Florida on Saturday.

The SEC instituted a new policy this season requiring football teams to make an “initial report” on player availabilities by 7 p.m. Wednesday. They are also required to update their team’s report once on Thursday and Friday, and at least 90 minutes prior to kickoff on game days.

There will be a few names Mississippi State fans will be interested to see their status for the Bulldogs’ SEC opener.

The Bulldogs had six players declared as inactive before last week’s Toledo game, including defensive tackle Kalvin Dinkins who has yet to play this season (even though he’s still listed as a starter on the team’s official depth chart, shown below).

“I don’t (have an update). Today, there was nothing different for those guys,” coach Jeff Lebby said in his Monday press conference. “On Wednesday it’ll go out and we’ll have a little better idea where they’re at.”

We’ll have reporting on Mississippi State’s initial report Wednesday night. Here’s the official depth chart the team released Monday:
