The Gators got some good news in the final injury update, with wide receiver Bailey Stockton and defensive lineman Emmanuel Oyebadejo removed from the list and available to play on Saturday night.

Stockton has been dealing with a nagging foot injury but still managed to haul in eight receptions for 76 yards against Georgia last Saturday. Oyebadejo has been dealing with an ankle injury that caused him to miss a game earlier in the season; he made two solo tackles, including a sack, plus a pass breakup against the Bulldogs.
Wide receiver Vernell Brown III, defensive lineman Jeramiah McCloud, tight end Evan Chieca, offensive lineman Emeka Ugorji and linebacker Jaden Robinson remain out for the SEC showdown in the Swamp. Brown will miss his fifth straight game with a grade-1 PCL strain that he suffered against Ole Miss in Week 4 and re-aggravated ahead of last week’s game.
Oklahoma still has eight players who will not play on Saturday: linebacker Taylor Heim, defensive back Dakoda Fields, wide receiver Trell Harris, linebacker Cole Sullivan, tight end Trynae Washington, defensive back Jacobe Johnson, and offensive linemen Ryan Fodje and Fred Hinton.
