Updated ACC Availability Report: Key FSU Players In or Out for Clash Against Virginia Cavaliers As Florida State gears up for a crucial road trip to Charlottesville, the updated ACC availability report has arrived — and it’s painting an intriguing picture ahead of Saturday’s showdown with the Virginia Cavaliers. With ACC title implications on the line, Mike Norvell’s Seminoles will need every ounce of depth, and this week’s injury and availability news could play a major role in how the contest unfolds. The biggest headline is the return of star wide receiver Keon Coleman, who missed last week’s game with a nagging hamstring issue. Coleman has been cleared to play and will give quarterback DJ Uiagalelei a much-needed weapon against a Virginia secondary that has struggled all season. His ability to stretch the field and win contested catches adds a new layer to an FSU offense that already ranks among the ACC’s most explosive. On the defensive side, there’s a mix of good and bad news. Linebacker DJ Lundy, who left last week’s game early, is listed as questionable but trending toward playing after participating in limited practice reps this week. His presence is crucial against a Cavaliers offense that relies heavily on its ground game. However, FSU will be without starting safety Shyheim Brown, who is dealing with a lower-body injury. Freshman standout Conrad Hussey is expected to step into a larger role in the secondary, and all eyes will be on how he handles increased responsibility in a hostile road environment. The offensive line remains a concern as well. Guard Darius Washington is out once again, forcing the Seminoles to continue shuffling their interior protection. Virginia’s defensive front has been inconsistent, but any pressure up the middle could disrupt FSU’s rhythm and make the offense more one-dimensional. For Virginia, the Cavaliers are relatively healthy and eager to capitalize on their home-field advantage. Quarterback Anthony Colandrea remains under center, and wide receiver Malik Washington is expected to play despite dealing with a minor ankle tweak. This matchup now shapes up as a battle of depth and adjustments. With key playmakers returning and a few starters sidelined, Florida State’s resilience will be tested. If Coleman and the offense click early — and the defense can weather Virginia’s ground attack — the Seminoles remain favorites. But make no mistake: Saturday’s availability list could end up being the difference between a comfortable road win and a nail-biting ACC thriller.
