GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Five Gators have been ruled out and two, including a starter, were deemed questionable for Florida's Week 11 matchup at No. 9 Missouri on the team's weekly injury report.

Find Florida's full Week 11 injury report below. 

  • WR Andy Jean (lower body) — questionable
  • OT Austin Barber (upper body) — questionable
  • WR Caleb Douglas (lower body) — out
  • TE Jonathan Odom (upper body) — out
  • LB Shemar James (lower body) — out
  • EDGE Jack Pyburn (lower body) — out
  • CB Devin Moore (upper body) — out

Barber, Florida's starting left tackle, went down twice against LSU on Saturday due to separate injuries. He exited the contest in the fourth quarter after being tended to by trainers and was replaced on the left side by starting right tackle Damieon George Jr., with Kamryn Waites sliding into George's typical spot. 

Waites is listed as Barber's backup at left tackle on Florida's Week 11 depth chart.

Barber and Jean, a freshman receiver, are the only additions to Florida's injury report this week, while the other five members of the list entered the week with known hurts. 

Moore was a late addition to UF's Week 11 injury report after suffering a concussion during last Thursday's practice, leaving him unavailable against LSU. 

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.

Despite missing the previous two games, James is Florida's co-leading tackler during the 2023 campaign, tied with freshman safety Jordan Castell at 55 apiece. Pyburn collected 17 tackles in nine appearances.

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