Virginia Tech is 3-6 overall and has dropped three of its past four games. The Hokies have been more competitive since firing head coach Brent Pry earlier in the year. The team also had a BYE week to prepare for the game against Florida State.

With less than 48 hours remaining until kickoff, Florida State has a few players dealing with injuries.

Last weekend, redshirt junior defensive end James Williams and true freshman wide receiver Jayvan Boggs missed the game against Clemson. Both players warmed up but didn't play.

During the course of the defeat, redshirt sophomore Ja'Bril Rawls suffered an upper-body injury. Head coach Mike Norvell didn't provide much clarity on his status earlier this week.

On Thursday evening, the ACC released its first availability report for the game. The report will be updated on Friday and two hours before kickoff on Saturday.

Florida State will only have to release these reports for conference games.

The first availability report of the week for Florida State provided clarity on numerous Seminoles.

The biggest news is that Rawls will be unavailable. That's a big hit to the defense as he's been one of the most consistent players on the team. This will be the third game Rawls has missed this season.

Redshirt sophomore running back Samuel Singleton Jr. was listed as questionable after starting the last two games for FSU.

As for the positives, redshirt junior defensive end James Williams, redshirt senior left tackle Gunnar Hansen, sophomore wide receiver Lawayne McCoy, and true freshman wide receiver Jayvan Boggs are listed as probable.
