Final Gamecocks injury update; freshman expected to play for first time

South Carolina right guard Cory Helms will miss Saturday’s game against Texas A&M, head coach Will Muschamp said Thursday night on his weekly “Carolina Calls” radio show.

That means four players who started the season as key starters for the Gamecocks – Helms (ankle), right tackle Zack Bailey (ankle), wide receiver Deebo Samuel (leg) and linebacker Bryson Allen-Williams (shoulder) – will miss the game against the Aggies. Helms and Bailey could return next week against Arkansas, Muschamp said.

“They’re both a week-to-week deal,” Muschamp said. “I’m hoping to get them back next week.”

The Gamecocks (3-1, 1-1 SEC) take on the Aggies (3-1, 1-0) at 7:30 p.
