Thursday injury report: Florida defensive lineman listed as questionable vs. LSU
The Florida Gators issued an updated availability report on Thursday night, along with LSU. It’s the second 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 was little change for the Florida Gators in Thursday’s injury report from the initial one on Wednesday. The latest update is the inclusion of Gators defensive lineman Michai Boireau, who was listed as questionable on Thursday’s report.
The biggest note of the Florida Gators’ injury report this week remains the absence of UF defensive lineman Caleb Banks, who still seems on track to play Saturday against LSU. He missed the first two games but has practiced this week, Florida coach Billy Napier revealed on Wednesday night.
“Caleb Banks is a force. One of the best defensive linemen in the country,” Napier said. “I think we’ll see where he’s at. He’s been able to practice this week; it’s been a good week. And then [Thursday], Friday, game day. So, I feel good about him.”
The Gators still have six players out for the SEC opener, including freshman wide receiver Dallas Wilson. The former top recruit has yet to appear in a game this season for the Orange and Blue due to an injury suffered in fall camp.
The Tigers have one player out in defensive tackle Zion Williams, and now have just one player listed as questionable: tight end Trey’Dez Green. A change for the Tigers from Wednesday’s initial report to Thursday is that receiver Destyn Hill and offensive lineman Braelin Moore have been upgraded to probable.

Moore, LSU’s starting center, went down with a lower-body injury on the first play from scrimmage against Louisiana Tech, while Green suffered a right MCL sprain in the fourth quarter. Moore was looking better as the week went on.
“I think we have him listed as probable. If not, I’ll double-check. Maybe he’s questionable, but he did practice yesterday, and we expect him to practice today,” LSU coach Brian Kelly said of Moore on Wednesday.
