Florida QB DJ Lagway's Hamstring Injury Status Uncertain for Saturday's Game

Associated Press  

Florida quarterback DJ Lagway's hamstring injury is less significant than initially feared, and the Gators have not ruled him out for Saturday's game at No. 5 Texas. Lagway has completed 61% of his passes for 1,071 yards, with six touchdowns and five interceptions. He has completed 2 of 6 passes for 47 yards, including a 43-yarder to Aidan Mizell for a touchdown. It remains to be seen how Warner would fit into that mold.
