COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina's leading receiver, Alshon Jeffery, has missed practice with an illness and it's not known when he will workout again.

Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier says Jeffery was sent home Wednesday because he was sick. Jeffrey is a freshman who has caught five touchdowns the last four games. Spurrier is hopeful Jeffery will be able to return soon. Jeffery has 24 catches for 443 yards, both team highs.

No. 21 South Carolina (6-2, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) travels to Tennessee (3-4, 1-3) for a game Saturday night.

Another Gamecock receiver, Moe Brown, was officially cleared to play after suffering a concussion in a loss to Alabama on Oct. 17. Brown missed South Carolina's 14-10 win over Vanderbilt last weekend.
