GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Find Florida's Week 13 injury report for its matchup with No. 5 Florida State below. 

• WR Andy Jean (lower body) — questionable
• OT Austin Barber (upper body) — questionable
• TE Tony Livingston (upper body) — questionable
• QB Graham Mertz (upper body) — out
• WR Caleb Douglas (lower body) — out 
• TE Jonathan Odom (upper body) — out
• LB Shemar James (lower body) — out
• EDGE Jack Pyburn (lower body) — out

Of note, sophomore cornerback Devin Moore (upper body — concussion) was removed from the injury report and will be expected to play on Saturday after missing Florida's last two games.

Barber, Florida's starting left tackle, remains listed as questionable after his upper body prevented him from playing against Missouri in Week 12. If he is unable to go against Florida State, redshirt sophomore Damieon George Jr. would likely fill in for Barber at left tackle with redshirt sophomore Kamryn Waites stepping in at right tackle. 

"I think we've listed him as questionable and I would say that describes his current state," UF head coach Billy Napier said about Barber on Wednesday night. "You know, I think ultimately, the injury is one that doesn't require surgery, it's ultimately a pain tolerance deal." 

Mertz and Livingston are Florida's additions to the injury report this week, with Mertz known to be out with a broken collarbone suffered against Missouri while Livingston is considered questionable with an unspecified upper-body injury.  

Mertz finished his redshirt junior campaign and first season at Florida having completed 72.9% of his 358 passes for 2,903 yards, 20 touchdowns and just three interceptions, reaching career highs in the former trio of categories and a career low in the latter statistic. 

Redshirt freshman Max Brown will start in place of Mertz against the Seminoles. 

Jean is listed on the report as questionable for the second week in a row with a lower-body injury, which kept him out of Week 12.

Douglas remains out with a lower-body injury, although Napier suggested on Nov. 1 that Douglas is "ahead of schedule" in his recovery from the injury. In five appearances this season, Douglas totaled 11 receptions for 133 yards and a touchdown.

James and Pyburn have each been ruled out for the remainder of the season with knee injuries. James dislocated his kneecap against Georgia in Week 9 and underwent surgery to mend the hurt, and Pyburn tore his ACL in Week 10 against Arkansas amid the first start of his collegiate career. Pyburn, too, had surgery on his hurt.

Odom continues to nurse an upper-body injury that has sidelined him since Week 6 and will not play against the Seminoles. He's caught nine passes for 75 yards in four games this season.
