### Auburn Football Injury Report: Key Players Unavailable as Fall Camp Begins
Auburn football head coach Hugh Freeze provided an update on the team’s health as they begin fall camp. While the Tigers are mostly healthy, a few players will be unavailable at the start.
**Alex McPherson**
Starting kicker Alex McPherson has not been cleared to play due to a gastrointestinal illness. Freeze noted that McPherson is “getting better” but isn’t ready to return yet. McPherson was perfect last season, making all 13 of his field goal attempts.
**Tyler Johnson**
Redshirt freshman tackle Tyler Johnson will miss the first two practices because of a hamstring injury. Freeze stated that Johnson is “really close to being able to be back.” Johnson appeared in three games last season and was mentioned by Freeze during SEC Media Days as a potential option at left tackle.
**Tyler Scott**
Defensive back Tyler Scott suffered an ACL injury during summer workouts and is out for the season. Freeze confirmed Scott’s status in early July.
As Auburn begins fall camp, the coaching staff will need to adjust for these absences while preparing for the upcoming season.
