Malachi Marshall is officially off the injury report for Florida State, a massive boost for the Seminoles heading into their huge ACC clash against Clemson on Saturday. This is a crucial development for FSU, especially with their quarterback being a full go for the weekend.
FSU’s Gains and Losses Heading into Saturday
The Seminoles’ injury report saw some significant swings this week. The biggest news has to be that Marshall, who was probable on Wednesday, is now completely cleared. He is joined by linebackers Omar Graham Jr. and Mikai Gbayor, both of whom were also probable earlier in the week and are now off the report entirely. That’s a huge sigh of relief for FSU fans!
However, it isn’t all good news. Defensive back K.J. Kirkland, who was initially questionable, has been downgraded to doubtful. That’s a tough blow for the secondary. Plus, the Seminoles will still be without a long list of players. Defensive backs Quindarrius Jones, Karson Hobbs, and Jamari Howard are out, along with running backs Ousmane Kromah and Sam Singleton Jr. The linebacker corps is also missing Blake Nichelson, Izayia Williams, Daylen Green, and Noah LaVallee, all listed as out. On the brighter side for the depth chart, linebackers Chris Jones and Caleb LaVallee are probable, as is defensive back Jordan Crutchfield.
Clemson’s Injury Woes Remain Unchanged
As for the Clemson Tigers, their injury situation is holding steady, and not in a good way. Their list of unavailable players remains extensive, with no changes reported since the last update. Cornerbacks Corian Gipson and Shavar Young Jr. are still out, along with safety Polo Anderson. Wide receiver Cole Turner, running back David Eziomume, offensive lineman Mason Wade, and defensive tackle Markus Strong are also all confirmed out for Saturday. Wide receiver Gordon Sellars III is still questionable, leaving his status up in the air.
FSU, currently favored by 6 points, will take on Clemson this Saturday at 7 p.m. ET. The game is set to kick off inside Doak Campbell Stadium and will be broadcast on the ACC Network. With Malachi Marshall cleared and several other key players back in the mix, FSU is looking to seize this opportunity. Can they capitalize on a depleted Clemson squad and make a statement in the ACC? We’ll find out come Saturday night!
