Dorian Mausi is listed on Auburn's early availability report

The first SEC Student-Athlete Availability Report of Week 6 was released, and several notable athletes from Auburn's roster made it early.

The obvious names of Tyler Scott, Brandon Frazier and Champ Anthony, who was diagnosed with long-term injuries, remain out on the list ahead of the Tigers' SEC road game at No. 4 Georgia on Saturday. However, according to Wednesday's report, three key defensive players are considered “likely” to play.

Linebackers Jalen McLeod and Dorian Mausi and safety Jerrin Thompson are listed as “probable” for the Georgia game, while OT Izavion Miller is listed as “questionable.”

McLeod and Mausi made seven stops in last week's loss to Oklahoma, with McLeod fending off a sack. McLeod is the team's second-highest defensive player per PFF at 84.4 and has eight quarterback hurries with three sacks. Mausi has recorded four pressures in his first five games as an Auburn Tiger.

Thompson allowed his cover receivers to catch just 56.3% of the passes thrown to them at the safety position with one pass breakup and one interception this season. Miller, who has battled a hip issue all year, has logged 149 snaps at right tackle for the Tigers this season. He is the team's second-highest pass blocker at 78.3, which is the highest mark among offensive linemen.

Four Georgia Bulldogs were left out of this week's game: RB Roderick Robinson, LB Smael Mondon Jr., WR London Humphries and OL Tate Ratledge. DL Jordan Hall is listed as “questionable,” while DL Mykel White, WR Sacovie White and OL Jared Wilson are listed as “probable.”

Auburn will face No. 4 Georgia on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia. The game will be broadcast live on ABC.
