Tennessee football is less than 24 hours away from kicking off its rivalry matchup against Florida at Neyland Stadium. That means it’s time for the Friday night availability report for the Vols’ matchup against the rival Gators.
The availability report is new in the SEC this season and effectively serves an injury report that each team releases every night starting Wednesday and up until kickoff. The final availability report comes out 90 minutes before kickoff on game day.
Both Florida and Tennessee have a handful of key starters who have been on the injury report this week and whose status is uncertain for the SEC showdown.
With that, let’s take a look at the Tennessee-Florida Friday availability report including some notes on the report and changes for each team.

Florida Notes
No movement on the Florida availability report. Nine players remain out while five players are still questionable.
The top players to watch remain cornerback Bryce Thornton and left tackle Austin Barber. Devon Manuel is Barber’s backup so if he can’t go then Florida’s top two offensive tackles won’t be able to go.
