The Seminoles are on the road for the third time this fall, facing off against a Clemson Tigers team that can still be dangerous despite the disappointments over the last few weeks. Clemson is 1-4 at home while FSU is 0-2 outside of Doak Campbell Stadium.

Leading up to the matchup, there are some players on Florida State's roster dealing with injuries.

Earlier this week, the Seminoles announced DL Deamontae Diggs, DB Quindarrius Jones, TE Chase Loftin, DB Ricky Knight III, LB Caleb LaVallee, LB Ethan Pritchard, and DB Donny Hiebert would miss the game.

In the first two ACC availability reports, Florida State listed five players as questionable (LB Stefon Thompson, DE James Williams, WR Jayvan Boggs, WR Elijah Moore,, WR Teriq Mallory). The Seminoles listed running backs, Roydell Williams and Kam Davis, as probable, with redshirt freshman wide receiver Willy Suarez also popping up as probable.

Final ACC Availability Report

The ACC released its final availability report for the matchup two hours before kickoff, providing final updates from Florida State and Clemson.

On gameday, the statuses for players on the report are out, game-time decision, or available.

The total number of missing players is up to 18, ten for Clemson and eight for Florida State.

In a positive update for the Seminoles, redshirt senior linebacker Stefon Thompson will make his return. However, redshirt junior defensive end James Williams and redshirt sophomore safety Edwin Joseph are game-time decisions, while true freshman wide receiver Jayvan Boggs will miss his second straight game. Moore, Mallory, Williams, Davis, and Suarez are available.

Clemson starting left tackle Collin Sadler will make his return after missing the Tigers' loss to Duke with an injury.
