TENNESSEE

The only pair of players listed as out for Tennessee are Jourdan Thomas and Edwin Spillman. Thomas is a defensive back who was projected to start as the nickel back before going down with a preseason season-ending injury. Spillman is a freshman linebacker who missed the game against Arkansas and the first two games of the season, as well.

Ben Bolton is listed as doubtful. The linebacker made the trip to face the Razorbacks but didn't see any defensive snaps.

The only player listed as questionable is Dont'e Thornton Jr. The wide receiver made his first start of the season this weekend and was the recipient of the longest throw quarterback Nico Iamalaeava made during the game.

Probable receivers are Squirrel White and Bru McCoy. Both players have been the starters at their respective receiving positions but got banged up against Arkansas. There was early pessimism around their future availibilities but both are 'probable' to go against the Gators.

Also probable is Christian Harrison. The defensive back has started every game as the nickel back up to this point.

FLORIDA

Florida has a long list of players who won't be able to go on Saturday. On offense, wide receiver TJ Abrams, running back Treyaun Webb, running back KD Daniels, wide receiver Khaleil Jackson, offensive lineman Devon Manuel, tight end Tony Livingston and wide receiver Marcus Burke won't play.

On defense, defensive back Ja'Keem Jackson and defensive lineman Jamari Lyons won't go, as well.

Listed as questionable are defensive backs DJ Douglas, Bryce Thornton and Asa Turner. Offensive lineman Austin Barber and defensive lineman Joey Slackman are also questionable.
