As the Florida Gators get ready to take on Ole Miss in Oxford at 7 PM, Caleb Banks has had his name float around on the injury report all week long. Banks had foot surgery after the LSU game in week three and had been listed as out ever since.
But the door is seemingly cracked open for Banks to try and play, even if the odds of that happening still seem low.
Caleb Banks is listed as doubtful heading into Saturday
It was notable on Wednesday when Banks was given the designation of "Doubtful" rather than "Out". Most assumed that on either Thursday's or Friday's report, he would wind up getting downgraded to out.
But on the Friday night report, Banks is still listed as "Doubtful," which does mean it is possible for him to play tonight.We have a feeling even if he does take the field it won't be for a full complement of snaps.
Will Myles Graham or Vernell Brown III play?
Two other key members for Florida do appear to be in line to play tonight. Myles Graham and Vernell Brown III are listed as "Probable."
It is notable, though, that both are still on the list and weren't removed after showing up on the initial list.
Is Roderick Kearney going to be available?
The offensive lineman was listed as "Questionable" on the Wednesday injury report, but he was downgraded to "Out" and he will not play tonight.
Who else is out for the Gators?
No other suprises for Florida as everyone else listed as "Out" was to be expected.
- Eugene Wilson III
- Dallas Wilson
- Ja’Kobi Jackson
- LJ McCray
- Aaron Gates
- Dijon Johnson
- Michael Caraway Jr.
- Javion Toombs
Eugene Wilson III is the most notable after he had a breakout performance against Georgia, only to miss the game against Kentucky. It was announced this week he was having tightrope surgery on his ankle and he will miss the rest of the season.
