The SEC availability report for Florida football's game against the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington was updated Friday night. While seven players remain listed, two of them saw their status change for the Gators' Week 11 affair.

The bad news is that cornerback Dijon Johnson, who was previously listed as doubtful, will now miss Saturday's SEC showdown. The fourth-year reserve has appeared in six games this season, recording 10 total tackles (three solo, seven assisted) along with an interception and three passes defended.

The good news is that defensive lineman DK Kalu, who was previously listed as questionable, was upgraded to probable, meaning there is a solid 75% chance he will play. Kalu has played in nine games with a pair of starts, logging seven total tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a quarterback hit.

Wide receiver Vernell Brown III, safety Bryce Thornton, inside linebacker Jaden Robinson and tight end Evan Chieca are the four other Gators who will not play on Saturday.

Brown will miss his sixth straight game with a grade-1 PCL strain he suffered against Ole Miss in Week 4 that was re-aggravated ahead of Week 9's Georgia game. The second-year receiver recorded 17 receptions for 271 yards and two touchdowns over four appearances before being sidelined with his injury.

Thornton's injury was not disclosed after playing in 55 of 77 defensive snaps in last week's loss to Oklahoma. The fourth-year defensive back has amassed 28 tackles and three defended passes in eight games this season.

Robinson will miss his third consecutive game, also due to an undisclosed injury. The fourth-year ILB has 26 tackles with four for loss, plus 1.5 sacks and two defended passes over seven appearances for Florida this fall.

Kofi Asare, a JACK who has played in nine games with a pair of starts, logging seven total tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a quarterback hit, remains listed as questionable.

Kentucky still has four players who are listed as out for Saturday: wide receiver Nic Anderson, inside linebacker Antwan Smith, and defensive backs Jaden Smith and Grant Grayton.
