[autotag]South Carolina Gamecocks[/autotag] wide receiver Juice Wells won’t be available this weekend against Mississippi State with a left foot injury, head coach Shane Beamer said Tuesday.
Beamer did say the wideout should return at some point this season after a meeting with a specialist Tuesday morning. Beamer did not specify the nature of the injury any further than Wells’ foot.
The senior caught two passes for 32 yards against Georgia, including the first touchdown of the game, before he left in the first quarter.
Wells caught 68 passes for 928 yards and six touchdowns a season ago, leading the Gamecocks in all three categories on his way to first-team All-SEC selection.
Beamer: Juice Wells is out this weekend. He saw a specialist this morning and it's not season ending. They'll continue to monitor it and "do what's best for him."

According to the 2-deep depth chart that was released ahead of the Mississippi State game, true freshman Nyck Harbor is listed as his primary backup. Harbor has caught one pass this year for seven yards. That play resulted in a touchdown.
