Florida State vs. Florida: Pre-game injury updates for the Seminoles
Kickoff is closing in for Florida State's final home game of the 2022 season as the Seminoles prepare for a Black Friday contest against the rival Florida Gators.
The 'Noles have won four straight games in dominant contest and enter the regular-season finale in a rhythm against a Gators team that has been dealing with a plethora of injuries. Half of Florida's scholarship receivers are projected to be unavailable, including top receiver Justin Shorter and third-leading pass catcher Xzavier Henderson. Star linebacker Ventrell Miller will miss the first half after committing a targeting penalty in the team's loss to Vanderbilt last weekend.

Ahead of the matchup, the Seminoles are pretty healthy but there are still some question marks surrounding a couple of players.
Redshirt junior wide receiver Mycah Pittman left the win over Louisiana after taking a hit to the lower-body during a jet sweep while redshirt sophomore wide receiver Johnny Wilson only played six snaps during the contest. Head coach Mike Norvell stated that he expected both players to suit up against the Gators during his final media availability ahead of the game on Tuesday.
Wide receiver Winston Wright Jr, offensive lineman Thomas Shrader, and tight end Jackson West have yet to dress out for a game in 2022. Offensive lineman Kayden Lyles, offensive lineman Bless Harris, and linebacker Stephen Dix Jr. were previously ruled out for the season.
