Florida has player upgraded, another downgraded on latest injury report
The SEC availability report for Florida football's game against the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington was updated Friday night. While seven players remain listed, two of them saw their status change for the Gators' Week 11 affair. The bad news is that cornerback Dijon Johnson, who was previously listed as doubtful, will now miss Saturday's SEC showdown. The fourth-year reserve has appeared in six games this season, recording 10 total tackles (three solo, seven assisted) along with an interception and three passes defended. The good news is that defensive lineman DK Kalu, who was previously listed as questionable, was upgraded to probable, meaning there is a solid 75% chance he will play. Kalu has played in nine games with a pair of starts, logging seven total tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a quarterback hit. Wide receiver Vernell Brown III, safety Bryce Thornton, inside linebacker Jaden Robinson and tight end Evan Chieca are the four other Gators who will not play on Saturday. Friday's SEC Availability Report still has seven Florida Gators listed, with Dijon Johnson now ruled out while DK Kalu was upgraded to probable. #GoGators Four Kentucky Wildcats remain listed as out for Saturday
