Kentucky vs. Florida Thursday Night Availability Report

Before every SEC game, each team must publicly share injury reports, a new change for the fall 2024 college football season. After nine Kentucky players made the first Availability Report of the week on Wednesday, 10 Wildcats were included in the updated list on Thursday night.

With the Availability Report, players must be listed as out (0% chance to play), doubtful (25% chance to play), questionable (50% chance to play), or probable (75% chance to play). Once again, this week’s injury report includes multiple Kentucky starters.

The lone addition to Thursday night’s update is offensive lineman Gerald Mincey, who is listed as probable. Defensive back Maxwell Hairston remains out. But there was some good news as well.

Running back Chip Trayanum, defensive back Terhyon Nichols, and kicker Jacob Kauwe have all been elevated from questionable to probable, meaning we’ll likely see them suit up against the Gators. For Trayanum, it sounds like he’ll be making his season debut in a couple of days.

• Jayvant Brown | LB | Out
• Maxwell Hairston | DB | Out
• Darrion Henry-Young | DL | Out
• Josaih Hayes | DL | Out
• Tavion Gadson | DL | Out
• Chip Trayanum | RB | Probable
• Terhyon Nichols | DB | Probable
• Jacob Kauwe | K | Probable
• Keeshawn Silver | DL | Probable
• Gerald Mincey | OL | Probable

Another availability report will be published on Friday night. We’ll receive a final report on Saturday 90 minutes before the Wildcats take on the Gators in Gainesville. Kickoff is set for 7:45 p.m. EST on the SEC Network.

Florida still with 16 players on availability report
