DJ Lagway Sidelined by Calf Strain as Florida Opens Fall Camp

Napier has no timetable on his return, prompting reliance on veteran and walk-on backups

Overview

  • DJ Lagway opened fall camp wearing a walking boot after straining a calf during offseason training.
  • Napier described Lagway as day-to-day and offered no clear timetable for his return to practice.
  • Sixth-year senior Harrison Bailey and former walk-on Aidan Warner will handle early first-team reps in Lagway’s absence.
  • The calf injury is the latest in a string of setbacks that sidelined Lagway through spring after sports hernia surgery and hampered his sophomore development.
  • Florida’s offensive game plan and Heisman aspirations hinge on how quickly the Gators stabilize the quarterback position before a challenging SEC slate.
