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

After popping up with an injury yesterday, the Seminoles ruled out kicker Conor McAneney. The transfer has primarily served as FSU's kickoff specialist this year.

Safety K.J. Kirkland remains on the report. Kirkland will be a game-time decision after fluctuating between questionable and doubtful over the last couple of days.

Cornerback Charles Lester III is no longer listed after popping up as probable yesterday. He should see increased playing time with Quindarrius Jones sideline.
