The Florida Gators issued their updated availability report Friday night along with Georgia. It’s the third of four injury reports that will be released before the Gators (3-4, 2-2 SEC) face the No. 5 Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1 SEC) on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on ABC.

UF running back Duke Clark is now out after being listed as questionable the past two days. Clark has been out for the last two games with a shoulder injury and Florida is still without running back Ja’Kobi Jackson as well.

Gators defensive back Javion Tombs was ruled out on Thursday after being questionable initially, while walk-on receiver Jackson Wade was added to the availability report Thursday and is still listed as questionable Friday.

Florida now has 10 players out for the Georgia game, including starting wide receiver Vernell Brown III. The freshman standout suffered an AC sprain in the Mississippi State game and has not practiced since the injury.

Florida does get three starters back this week in safety Jordan Castell, cornerback Cormani McClain and tight end Tony Livingston, all of whom missed homecoming (Livingston was out two games). Starting CB Devin Moore is also good to go after leaving the MSU game with an injury.

Wide receiver Aidan Mizell — who has missed three games this year — is out once again this week along defensive lineman Caleb Banks (foot), running backs Ja’Kobi Jackson (undisclosed) and Treyaun Webb (hamstring), EDGE LJ McCray (foot) and defensive backs Aaron Gates (shoulder) and Dijon Johnson (knee).

Georgia has four players this week: tight end Ethan Barbour, defensive back Kyron Jones and wide receivers Talyn Taylor and Colbie Young.
