--Redshirt freshman TE C'yontai Lewis (hand) is doubtful for Saturday but not completely out of the picture just yet, Jim McElwain said Wednesday. He had his cast shrunk Wednesday. Lewis has missed the past three games. Before that, he was Florida's No. 2 option at TE. Still, Jake McGee and DeAndre Goolsby are both pretty solid and should factor plenty into the game plan this weekend as Florida likes to run a lot of two TE sets. Camrin Knight will be the third TE in Florida's goal-line "heavy package" (with 3 TEs and DT Joey Ivie as a fullback)
--Junior linebacker Alex Anzalone (shoulder) is doing much better but still in a sling, McElwain said. He has missed the past 3 1/2 contests and should be out for a little while longer. He's out against Mizzou. Florida's depth at linebacker is thin, but Jarrad Davis and Antonio Morrison have been great up to this point in UF's 4-2-5 defense. Sometimes, the Gators operate in the dime with safety Marcus Maye playing in the box essentially as a Mike linebacker.
--Redshirt junior linebacker Jeremi Powell (foot) is questionable for Saturday. "He ran a little bit. We’ll get it tested again tomorrow," McElwain said Wednesday. Powell would be probably the No. 3 LB in the rotation if he's available Saturday.
--Redshirt junior kicker Austin Hardin (leg), who hasn't played the past two games, was at practice yesterday but walk-on kicker Jorge Powell was doing all of the kickoff work during the short open period at the start of Wednesday's practice. I'd bank on Powell seeing all of the work on special teams this weekend, while Johnny Townsend handles the punting responsibilities.
--Junior wide receiver Ahmad Fulwood (arm), a backup behind outside receivers Demarcus Robinson and Antonio Callaway, has been non-contact in practice to start the week. Should be interesting to see if and how much he plays Saturday. Sophomore wide out C.J. Worton (leg) missed last weekend's contest but is back in practice this week.
--Redshirt sophomore safety Marcell Harris (undisclosed) is listed as probable. He serves as a backup safety. Freshman cornerback Chris Williamson, who has played primarily on special teams this year, "pulled a leg somewhere in there," McElwain said and will be re-evaluated Thursday. Redshirt freshman offensive tackle Kavaris Harkless (undisclosed) will be back next week, while redshirt freshman offensive guard Travaris Dorsey (undisclosed) will return soon as well. Both have barely played this year and aren't part of the rotation.
