Shane Gives Update On Vital Piece Of Gamecocks' Offense

South Carolina's Football team is trying to stay as healthy as they can ahead of their game against Kentucky, but could be missing a critical piece yet again.

On Tuesday afternoon, South Carolina head football coach Shane Beamer met with the local media to discuss the latest on the Gamecocks' football team. While a lot of the talk was about the upcoming game against Kentucky and the ongoing development of several players, there was also some discussion about some players who might not be available this week. Here's the latest information on those guys specifically courtesy of Beamer himself:
