Jason Marshall injury update: Unfortunate news emerges on Florida DB
Florida cornerback Jason Marshall will not return to Saturday’s against Kentucky after suffering a shoulder injury. The Gators senior was spotted on the sideline in street clothes with his right arm in a sling after leaving the game early in the third quarter.
Marshall has been a key piece for Florida’s secondary this season with 18 tackles, four passes defended and a forced fumble. He had recorded two tackles and a quarterback hurry prior to his exit.
Marshall is a four-year starter in the secondary and will be a big loss if he is forced to miss more time. Florida has a bye this coming week that will allow him some time to recover, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see him held out a couple more weeks.
Florida would go on to win 48-20 against Kentucky to improve to 4-3 (2-2 SEC) on the season. After their bye, the Gators move on to face No. 5 Georgia in Jacksonville on Nov. 2.
We’ll await further updates on the severity of the injury to Jason Marshall coming out of the bye week.

Billy Napier credits freshmen DJ Lagway, Jadan Baugh for stepping up in win vs. Kentucky
With injuries to its veterans, Florida relied on a couple of freshmen to lead it to victory against Kentucky on Saturday. Quarterback DJ Lagway and running back Jadan Baugh stepped into starting roles with Graham Mertz and Montrell Johnson out and helped the Gators cruise to a dominant 48-20 win.
Florida scored 21 unanswered points to end the game, turning a one-touchdown lead into an eventual four-score win. Speaking with SEC Network postgame, coach Billy Napier had praise for the way both Lagway and Baugh rose to the occasion.
“It’s exciting to see some of that hard work is paying off,” he said. “Our personnel department, our on-campus recruiting, the staff. Some of those young players are really good. Both those kids are incredible people, too. Humble, talented and stepped up. We’re without Graham. We’re without Montrell. Not only did they play well, they were lights out.”
