Florida updates depth chart ahead of Georgia, Eguakun set to return

Here’s a look at who is available for this weekend’s big game.

The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party is set to take place Saturday afternoon and the Florida Gators released their Week 9 depth chart.

The Gators are going to need all hands on deck as they challenge the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs. Even without its main source of offensive production, tight end Brock Bowers, UGA can still inflict a beatdown on whoever comes across their path.

Florida will have a few returning pieces to the lineup, including a vital part of the offensive line, center [autotag]Kingsley Eguakun[/autotag]. The redshirt junior will snap the ball after recovering from a lingering ankle injury this fall.

UF head coach Billy Napier said it’s been hard to manage Eguakun’s snaps after sustaining an injury back on Oct. 11. The center has been ruled out five times in the past seven games.

“Kingsley, man, this is the hard thing about injuries, man,” Napier said. “It’s one of the tougher things that you experience as a player or coach, especially in the back end of your career.”

Wide receiver Andy Jean will return to the lineup after missing out on the Gators’ road win over the South Carolina Gamecocks on Oct. 14. The freshman was out with a lower-body injury but will resume his position as the No. 3 wideout behind senior Ricky Pearsall and redshirt sophomore Taylor Spierto.

On the opposite spectrum of the injury report, sophomore wide receiver Caleb Douglas is still listed as “out” with a lower-body injury.  Douglas has been injured since Sept. 30 with Kentucky. Fellow wideout Thai Chiaokhiao-Bowman joins the injury list with an “out” label, no thanks to a lower-body injury.

Florida tight end Jonathan Odom is listed as “out” on the depth chart with an upper-body injury. Freshman tight end Arlis Boardingham will continue to lead the tight end room on Saturday.

The showdown between the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs is set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. EDT. The game will be broadcast on CBS Sports.
