Auburn football's final injury report for Iron Bowl revealed

The final SEC Student-Athlete Availability Report has been released ahead of the Iron Bowl between Auburn and No. 10 Alabama at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Auburn is looking end their season with a win over their rival Alabama, and to become bowl eligible with a sixth win this season. To do so they will have to do it without some of their players. Two players on the report that the Tigers have been without for some time is center Connor Lew and wide receiver Horatio Fields. Lew had his season end after he suffered an ACL injury after a loss to Missouri. Fields has been out since September in a loss versus Oklahoma with a broken foot. There was some hope that Fields could return, but now will look for a medical redshirt. In four games played, Fields caught 12 passes for 106 yards and one touchdown.

On the Auburn defense they will be without defensive back Champ Anthony. He has had a tough time this season suffering a few injuries that has kept him out of the lineup at times. Linebacker Demarcus Riddick is also out who had his season end after Auburn's overtime loss to Vanderbilt due to an shoulder injury. Coming into the season, Riddick was the most experience player in the Auburn linebacker room. This season he has 13 tackles and one sack. Also, Auburn will be without defensive back Sylvester Smith for the first half due to a targeting penalty versus Mercer. Other players like Kensley Louidor-Faustin will need step up in his absence.

Alabama will be without several players in the Iron Bowl but one their key losses for the game will be tight end Josh Cuevas, a pivotal part of the Crimson Tide's passing game. He is Alabama's fourth-leading receiver with 30 receptions and has 341 yards with four touchdowns.

Auburn hosts Alabama at 6:30 p.m. CT and the game will air on ABC live from Jordan-Hare Stadium.
