GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida is quite banged up after entering Saturday's game against UAB with just 53 scholarship players available.

The Gators lost one during that game that will likely not be back this week against FSU: safety Jeawon Taylor. Taylor's exact injury was not disclosed, but he has not practiced and interim coach Randy Shannon said he is "likely out" this weekend.

Meanwhile, a couple players on the defensive line who missed last week's contest could potentially return.

Defensive tackle Elijah Conliffe (left foot) practiced with the team on Tuesday.

In addition, defensive end Jachai Polite (shoulder) went through some individual drills but didn't participate in other aspects of practice.

Receiver Kadarius Toney remains sidelined with a separated shoulder, unable to practice on Tuesday. His status for Saturday's game is unclear, but Toney has tried to gut it out the past few weeks and been of little service.

Quarterback Malik Zaire remains day-to-day but has not practiced since suffering a left knee injury against South Carolina.

Running back Mark Thompson was spotted at Tuesday's practice wearing an orange non-contact jersey.

Shannon also said that he did not have an update on the status of wide receiver James Robinson, who has been sidelined this season due to a heart condition. Florida had previously said in a statement that results from genetic testing on Robinson's heart were expected back some time in late November.

Should Conliffe and Polite return to the lineup and those who are out of practice remain out, Florida would enter Saturday's game with 54 healthy scholarship players.
