Florida QB Lagway Sidelined with Calf Strain

Florida Gators quarterback DJ Lagway will start fall camp sidelined with a calf strain and is currently in a walking boot, following previous injuries including a shoulder issue and sports hernia surgery. Head coach Billy Napier described Lagway as 'day-to-day' and making quick progress, with no current indication he will miss the August 30 season opener against Long Island University. Napier emphasized Lagway's positive attitude and the need to manage expectations for the Heisman contender. The Gators have closed training camp to media for the first three days, possibly reflecting concerns about Lagway's recovery. Former player Jacob Copeland suggested Lagway's recurring injuries may be linked to overexertion in the weight room, raising questions about his durability. Despite these setbacks, optimism remains that Lagway will be ready to lead the team in the upcoming season.
