Who Is OUT For Florida State-Miami?

Florida State previously ruled out RB Samuel Singleton Jr., WR Devin Carter, LB Blake Nichelson, LB Izayia Williams, LB Daylen Green, LB Noah LaVallee, DB Karson Hobbs, DB Jamari Howard, and DB Jordan Crutchfield. Hobbs is sidelined for the season due to an ACL injury.

Singleton Jr. and Nichelson are both potential starters for Florida State. However, they are still expected to be out for at least a few more weeks.

Miami is getting some important faces back in the lineup, but will still be without WR Joshua Moore and DB Romanas 'OJ' Frederique Jr.

Hurricanes RB CharMar Brown is out for the year, though Mark Fletcher is a more than capable threat out of the backfield.

The total number of missing players stayed at 15 before the game, with nine Seminoles and six Hurricanes out.

Final ACC Availability Report For FSU-Miami

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

While Florida State didn't technically make changes, offensive lineman Paul Bowling and defensive lineman Darryll Desir are no longer on the report. That means both players should be good to go against the Hurricanes.

Bowling will make his fourth straight start, while Desir is reacquainting himself on defense after missing three games during the first half of the season.

The Seminoles upgraded sophomore defensive back Zae Thomas from probable to available on Friday evening.
