Shane Beamer Explains How SEC Coaches Will Handle Mandatory Injury Reports

South Carolina's Shane Beamer and Kentucky's Mark Stoops will be the first SEC Coaches to release Mandatory Injury Reports this week ahead of their matchup on Saturday.

While some coaches have released injury reports in the past, this will be the first year that they are mandatory in the conference.

This week, Beamer was asked about reports and said he doesn't think coaches will even bother with them and leave it up to the trainers. Per On3:

“I wouldn’t say it’s a pleasure, for sure,” Beamer said. “Did not have to rearrange the schedule. I think between, we meet as a staff every day at 4 o’clock in the afternoons. Or Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays we do. In that we always meet with Clint (Haggard) and talk about all the injury situation as well.”

“So between Clint Haggard, George Wynn, myself, I don’t think it’ll be much on my plate,” Beamer explained. “I would imagine a lot of head coaches aren’t even going to mess with it, they’re just going to give it to the trainer. And the trainer’s going to say, ‘Does this look good?’ and the head coach is going to look at it for five seconds and say, ‘Yeah, it’s fine.’ So it’s not a big deal.

“It is what it is, and I don’t think it’ll be too time-consuming from my standpoint.”
