The Florida Gators issued their initial availability report Thursday night along with Ole Miss. It’s the second of four injury reports that will be released before the Gators (3-6, 2-4 SEC) face the No. 6 Rebels (9-1, 5-1 SEC) on Saturday at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

Two UF starters were added to Thursday’s injury report in wide receiver Vernell Brown III and linebacker Myles Graham, both of whom are listed as probable. Brown III missed the Georgia game with an AC sprain but returned to action at Kentucky.

Florida defensive lineman Caleb Banks is still listed as doubtful. He has been out since the LSU game, which was his season debut. His missed most of the offseason with a foot injury, then reinjured his foot at LSU and had in-season surgery.

Offensive lineman Roderick Kearney was ruled out on Thursday after being questionable on Wednesday along with walk-on wide receiver Taylor Spierto, who has been cleared for the Ole Miss game.

Two players that came off the availability report are running back Treyaun Webb and linebacker Grayson Howard. Webb had been out all year with a hamstring injury, while Howard was sidelined last week and has played in three games this season.

Nine previously injured Gators that remained on the availability report as out include wide receivers Eugene Wilson III (ankle) and Dallas Wilson (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), Michael Caraway Jr. (undisclosed) and Javion Toombs (undisclosed).

Ole Miss cornerback Antonio Kite has been cleared after being questionable on Wednesday. Rebels running back Raymond Collins is out this week, defensive linemen Jamarious Brown is still questionable and DL Jeffery Rush has been downgraded to doubtful.
