There is some mixed news in this week’s injury report for Florida football. Some are expected back, while others have a little more certainty.

The news is not all bad for Florida football.

In terms of the latest injury report, the No. 10 Gators are expected to have several key members of the defense back in the lineup Saturday when they host No. 7 Auburn at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

It looks like Florida football will be able to put its best defensive front out against the Tigers, who bring in the best offense the Gators have faced this season.

It starts a tough stretch of games for Florida football that will see them play three top-10 opponents in the month of October.

Here’s a look at the latest injury report, according to USA Today:

Out

Feleipe Franks, quarterback

Quarterback Feleipe Franks is out for the season after suffering a dislocated right ankle against Kentucky.

C.J. McWilliams, defensive back

After rupturing his Achilles in August, defensive back C.J. McWilliams is out for the season.

Kadarius Toney, wide receiver

Wide receiver Kadarius Toney will be out, at least until early November, after injuring his left shoulder.

Questionable

Luke Ancrum, defensive line

Defensive lineman Luke Ancrum is serving a suspension for an unknown reason. The team has not decided whether he will suit up Saturday against Auburn.

Amari Burney, utility

Amari Burney is listed as questionable for Saturday’s game with Auburn after he suffered an unspecified injury.

Probable

Jabari Zuniga, defensive line

Defensive lineman Jabari Zuniga is expected to be available for Saturday’s game against Auburn after suffering a sprained left ankle. That sprain kept him out of the game against Towson and Tennessee.

Jeawon Taylor, defensive back

Jeawon Taylor is likely to be in the lineup against Auburn after sitting out the game against Towson with a shoulder injury.

Ventrell Miller, linebacker

Linebacker Ventrell Miller is also expected to be in the lineup against Auburn. He sat out against Towson with a right shoulder injury.

C.J. Henderson, defensive back

C.J. Henderson is another member of the Florida football defense expected to be back on the field Saturday against Auburn. He’s been out three games nursing an ankle injury.

Florida football is expected to face its toughest test with No. 7 Auburn. Having several key members of the defense back from injury is certainly good news.

Next. 5 Auburn Tigers to watch Saturday. dark

No. 10 Florida will host No. 7 Auburn at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
