LOUISVILLE, Ky. - We're now less than 24 hours away from the Louisville football program's biggest matchup of the 2025 season.

The Cardinals have the tall task of hitting the road this week, flying down to South Florida for a highly-anticipated showdown with No. 2 Miami. Additionally, it's game where the eyes of the nation will be firmly upon them, with kickoff at Hard Rock Stadium set for Friday at 7:00 p.m. EST.

Unfortunately, the Cards are far from operating at full health. On Wednesday night, we gained a little bit of clarity as to how banged up both sides are, with the ACC releasing their first availability report for tomorrow's Louisville-Miami showdown.

While Louisville's star running back Isaac Brown was not listed on the report, his backup in Duke Watson was designated as "out." The same could be said for rotational offensive lineman Naeer Jackson and Mak Pounders.

As for the Hurricanes, they actually got healthier during the bye week. While defensive lineman Hayden Lowe continues to be "out," wide receiver Joshisa Trader and running back Jordan Lyle were both removed for the initial injury report.

With kickoff less than 24 hours outs, what do the injury designations look like now? On Thursday night, the ACC released the second availability report for Louisville's matchup vs. Miami.

Below is the full report for both sides:
