Injury to Florida QB DJ Lagway ‘less significant’

DJ Lagway

The injury sustained by Florida quarterback DJ Lagway is “less significant” than originally thought and the freshman has a chance to play this week, Gators head coach Billy Napier said Monday.

Lagway exited Saturday’s loss to Georgia with a hamstring injury and was carted off the field. Napier at the time called it a significant injury.

“The good news is we have positive information on that front,” Napier told reporters Monday. “We do think that the injury is less significant, we do think there’s a pathway for recovery and a return.”

The Gators (4-4, 2-3 SEC) play at No. 5 Texas (7-1, 3-1) on Saturday.

Lagway suffered the injury in the second quarter and remained on the turf while being attended to. He threw for 47 yards and a touchdown before exiting.

“He’s got a hamstring. Pretty significant one,” Napier said then.

He was replaced by Aidan Warner, who completed 7 of 22 passes for 66 yards and an interception. The Gators led Georgia 13-6 at halftime before the Bulldogs went on to win 34-20.

Lagway has thrown for 1,071 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions since taking over for season starter Graham Mertz, who tore his ACL on Oct. 12 against Tennessee.
