The Florida Gators issued their initial availability report Wednesday night along with Georgia. It’s the first of four injury reports that will be released before the Gators (3-4, 2-2 SEC) face the No. 5 Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1 SEC) on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on ABC.

The Gators have two players listed as questionable and eight out for the Georgia game, including starting wide receiver Vernell Brown III. The freshman standout suffered an AC sprain in the Mississippi State game and has not practiced since the injury.

Florida does get three starters back this week in safety Jordan Castell, cornerback Cormani McClain and tight end Tony Livingston, all of whom missed homecoming (Livingston was out two games). Starting CB Devin Moore is also good to go after leaving the MSU game with an injury.

UF running back Duke Clark is questionable along with defensive back Javion Tombs. Clark has been out for the last two games with a shoulder injury.

Wide receiver Aidan Mizell — who has missed three games this year — is out once again this week along defensive lineman Caleb Banks (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).
