Good news and bad news on the injury front for FSU with kickoff against Clemson just minutes away.
The good news is that defensive back Edwin Joseph looks like he's ready to go. Joseph was one of two starters that were listed as game-time decisions on the final availability report. The other starter, defensive lineman James Williams, will not be available with what appears to be an ankle or foot injury.
Would say Edwin Joseph is good to play (was considered a game-time decision).

Williams is dressed and has tried to go through various drills during the warm-up period, but he did not work with either of the two-deep units in the final walkthrough.
The Nebraska transfer came to Tallahassee with the expectations that he would be a major boost to the Seminoles' pass rush, but that hasn't turned out to be the case. Williams has played a lot of snaps but has just a half sack and 12 total tackles to his name. He did, however, have a QB pressure that led to a turnover last week against Wake Forest.
FSU will have to generate a pass rush from somewhere because if the defense gives Cade Klubnik all day to throw, he will put up some yards.
Jayvan Boggs is officially out
This one was expected, but freshman wide receiver. Jayvan Boggs was ruled out before warm-ups, and he'll miss another game, his fourth of the season. Boggs didn't play last week against Wake Forest.
.Boggs has been battling with Lawayne McCoy and Jaylin Lucas to hold down that No. 3 receiver spot behind Duce Robinson and Micahi Danzy,
Something is going on with Ricky Knight III
Knight III, a redshirt freshman defensive back, is not with the team and his status as a Seminole is in question after an incident earlier in the week.
It's probably best for you to read it for yourself, but it doesn't look goof.
