The Florida Gators issued their last availability report on Saturday along with LSU. It’s the final of four injury reports that will be released before the Gators (1-1) face the No. 3 Tigers (2-0) on Saturday at 7 p.m. on ABC.

There were no changes for UF after starting defensive lineman Michai Boireau was ruled out on Friday, while LSU had a second player ruled out before kickoff and two Tigers were cleared to play in the SEC opener.

Florida will be without seven players on Saturday night, including backup safety Michael Caraway Jr. LSU tight end Trey’Dez Green is out along with defensive tackle Zion Williams, while center Braelin Moore and wide receiver Destyn Hill are good to go after being listed as probable for the past two days.

Despite the loss of Boireau, the Gators got good news on the injury front with the return of starting defensive lineman Caleb Banks, who missed the first two games. He will make his season debut against the Tigers, a team that he dominated last year.

“Interior push,” Florida EDGE Tyreak Sapp said of what Banks will bring. “He’s a big guy, he’s athletic. He can move. For a guy his size, he is pretty nimble. He’s a nimble guy. He has quick feet. He is super strong, and almost just as fast as me, and I think that helps.

“Especially for an edge like me, having an interior guy rushing like that and pushing the pocket and putting the rush on the quarterback … to escape outside the pocket. He helps a lot with that. That’s what he does. He does his job, and he does it well.”
