Florida’s injury report remains relatively short ahead of Saturday’s matchup with South Carolina, but key names still appeared Wednesday.

Wide receiver Vernell Brown III (right knee strain) and running back London Montgomery (undisclosed) are listed as questionable, while safety Bryce Thornton (lower body) and cornerback Dijon Johnson (ankle) are listed as probable.

Brown continues to work his way back from a low-grade right knee strain suffered against Ole Miss on Sept. 26. He missed Florida’s loss to Missouri after being ruled out, and Florida coach Jon Sumrall said that Brown’s return would depend on how he responds.

“Medically, nothing is going to hold him other than his own readiness, so we have to see how he responds and how he feels ready to go,” Sumrall said Monday.

Montgomery played in Florida’s 45-17 loss against Missouri, while Thornton did not play. Johnson also saw action against Missouri before leaving the game with an ankle injury.

“I think adversity tells you more about who you are than success,” Sumrall said. “When things are not going the way you want, what you do next says more about than when things are going really well.”

South Carolina has a longer list of players dealing with injuries. Four Gamecocks are listed as out: defensive back Jalewis Solomon (undisclosed), wide receiver Jayden Sellers (lower body), edge rusher Kobby Sakyi-Prah (undisclosed) and offensive lineman Josiah Thompson (lower body).

Defensive back Quay’sheed Scott (undisclosed), edge rusher Julian Walker (undisclosed) and defensive lineman Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy (upper-body) are listed as doubtful, while wide receiver Mazeo Bennett Jr. (undisclosed) and offensive lineman Carter Miller (undisclosed) are questionable.

Florida will look to bounce back from its loss Saturday when the Gators host South Carolina at 12:45 p.m.
