Florida football: Gators injury report ahead of Cocktail Party
Florida football received some good news during the bye week from coach Dan Mullen. The news was to expect some key players to return from injury.
Florida football has managed to survive and thrive despite missing some key components of its offense and defense.
Well, good news, Gator Nation.
During the bye week, head coach Dan Mullen said he expects a couple of those key components to return for No. 6 Florida’s clash with No. 8 Georgia in the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party in Jacksonville Saturday.
Among those returning (but still on the injured list, by the way) are defensive linemen Jonathan Greenard and Jabari Zuniga along with utility/wide receiver Kadarius Toney.
Good news may be a bit of an understatement, especially if they are all 100% — which I presume they are.
Here’s the updated injury report for Florida football, from USA Today:

Feleipe Franks, quarterback
Florida football starting quarterback Feleipe Franks suffered a dislocated right ankle in the win against Kentucky. He is out for the season.
