No. 4 Florida State lacks star wide receiver Johnny Wilson against Syracuse on Saturday.Wilson leads the Seminoles in receiving lawns with 357 and is tied for very first on the group with Keon Coleman with 20 catches. Wilson left Florida State’s game at Virginia Tech with a lower body injury in the 3rd quarter after scoring 2 touchdowns.Florida State coach Mike Norvell showed early in the week that Wilson

‘s injury didn’t have long-lasting implications, as he was normally positive about his return and said the Seminoles were taking it “day-by-day.” Wilson’s loss on Saturday is cushioned by a flurry of good news, as tight end Jaheim Bell and linebacker Tatum Bethune will play against Syracuse. Bell played just 7 snaps versus Virginia Tech and Bethune played only on unique teams.There’s some ambiguity at left take on for FSU, where versatile reserve Robert Washington started last week and split snaps with early-season starter Robert Scott, who returned on a part-time basis last week. Sources told ESPN that Scott is once again expected to be on a minimal breeze count as he returns from an injury suffered in FSU’s opener against LSU.Veteran lineman Bless Harris might factor in at left take on, as he missed out on the Virginia Tech game recently and is thought about a game-time choice, per sources.Florida State is 5-0 and hosts a Syracuse

(4-2)team that has been outscored 71-21 in its ACC games the previous 2 weeks.
