Florida Week 3 availability report: One starting Gator added Thursday
Summary
Injury: The Gators added starting kicker Patrick Durkin to their availability report on Thursday, listing him as probable for Florida's Week 3 matchup against Auburn Saturday at 7 p.m.
The Gators added starting kicker Patrick Durkin to their availability report on Thursday, listing him as probable for Florida's Week 3 matchup against Auburn Saturday at 7 p.m. ET. Find Florida and Auburn's full Thursday availability reports below. Florida Wednesday availability report K Patrick Durkin — PROBABLE WR Eric Singleton Jr. — QUESTIONABLE DE Emmanuel Oyebadejo — QUESTIONABLE Auburn Wednesday availability report OL Tai Buster — OUT TE Hunter Herring — QUESTIONABLE EDGE Joe Phillips — QUESTIONABLE Durkin, who alongside punter Alec Clark represented the only former Tulane players to follow Gators head coach Jon Sumrall to Florida via the NCAA transfer portal this offseason, has connected on each of his field goal attempts, including a 53-yarder, and is 15-of-15 on extra-point tries in his first season with UF. Durkin's backup, junior Liam Padron, converted his lone extra-point attempt against Florida Atlantic in Week 1.  Florida previously labeled Singleton and Oyebadejo questionable for Week 3 on Wednesday, as each player continues to recover from ankle injuries suffered in Week 1 against Florida Atlantic. ESPN's Pete Thamel labeled Singleton and Oyebadejo"game-time decisions" in Wednesday reporting. Singleton and Oyebadejo were each observed wearing walking boots this past Saturday, although both players were boot-less and "very, very, very limited" during Florida's Monday practice, Sumrall revealed.  "We'll know through the week. I'm not BS-ing you. I think I told you earlier last week. I thought they were very doubtful. This week, I'd say they're questionable. Is there a shot? Yes. Am I ready to say they're going to play? No, because I can't promise you that.  "But I'm not going to rush either one of them back and them not be right because it's a long season. Do we want them both to be back? Yeah. But at the same time, we got to be smart tough, not dumb tough. And if they're not available, if they're not ready to play the right way for themselves, it's going to hurt the team. And then also, what I don't want to do is put them back in the fray and do something that sets them back further. We'll see as the week goes. I think we'll have a better idea Wednesday, Thursday, but we'll see."  Sumrall called the pair of senior offseason transfer acquisitions "highly questionable" and "definitely not probable" to play against Campbell last Monday, in what was his only media availability before the game. Singleton, one of Florida's starting wide receivers, did not record a target in Week 1. Oyebadejo posted two tackles and a pass breakup against Florida Atlantic, and led the Gators with four quarterback pressures in that contest.  Auburn previously designated Herring and Phillips as questionable and Buster as out for Week 3.
