Florida State vs. Duke: Pre-Game Injury Updates For The Seminoles And Blue Devils

Who is available for the Seminoles and Blue Devils on Saturday night?

Kickoff is closing in for Florida State's top-25 matchup against the Duke Blue Devils in Doak Campbell Stadium. The Seminoles will conclude a three-game homestand with a third-straight sell-out. This one is a little more special since it falls in primetime under the eyes of a national audience.

FSU remains undefeated but will face a tough test from the Blue Devils in Tallahassee. Duke is 5-1 and is one of three teams yet to lose in ACC play. However, the status of starting quarterback Riley Leonard will be something to monitor after ESPN's Pete Thamel reported that he was doubtful to play.

Ahead of the contest, there are a couple of players to watch for the Seminoles. Thamel also reported that star wide receiver Johnny Wilson is expected to return against the Blue Devils after missing the win over Syracuse due to an undisclosed injury.

Outside of Wilson, redshirt senior offensive lineman Bless Harris is trending towards being a full-go after being available in an emergency capacity a week ago. However, there's uncertainty surrounding redshirt junior offensive lineman Darius Washington after he went down in the win last week. He was spotted with a brace on his knee while remaining on the sideline during the second half.

NoleGameday will be keeping an eye on the players mentioned above and more to determine who is available to play on Saturday. Follow along below for updates before the Seminoles kick off against the Blue Devils.

— Duke is going through early pregame warmups and quarterback Riley Leonard is among the players stretching out. Something to monitor as the two teams are not in full pads just yet.

— FSU wide receiver Johnny Wilson is going through pregame warmups with his position group. It appears that he'll be available against a tough Duke defense.

— Quarterbacks take the field for the Seminoles. True freshman Brock Glenn is in full pads and will be going through pregame warmups. He has a wrap on his left hand/wrist. Mike Norvell said earlier this week he won't be available to play in the actual game.

— Riley Leonard is now in full pads and throwing passes during pregame. He doesn't seem to be moving too poorly on roll-out throws. Definitely a slight limp as his right foot is heavily taped.

— Darius Washington is in full pads and warming up. He does not have a brace on his knee and seems like he's available to play.

— Johnny Wilson is also in full pads, confirming his return to the lineup. 

— Bless Harris and Robert Scott are warming up in full pads for the Seminoles. They should be good to go after being banged up earlier this season.

— Quarterback Jordan Travis does not have a wrap or brace on his non-throwing wrist after sporting one last week.

— Destyn Hill, KJ Kirkland, Ja'Bril Rawls, Edwin Joseph, Lucas Simmons, and Jerrale Powers are some of the players in street clothes. Ja'Khi Douglas will have to step up in the slot.
