Reed sustained a shoulder injury on a late punt return against Florida Atlantic. Chizik says he’ll be monitored on a week-to-week basis but did not elaborate on the extent of his injury.

Reed has caught 13 passes for 91 yards, mostly on screens, and also returns punts.. He’ll be replaced by freshman Quan Bray in both roles.

Chizik says guard John Sullen and linebacker Jonathan Evans  will have a chance to play against the Gamecocks. He said injured cornerback Chris Davis (leg) is “day-by-day.” All three players missed the Florida Atlantic game.
