DJ Lagway, Isaiah Bond injury updates: Florida, Texas stars availibility updated on Wednesday report

Florida and Texas will meet this weekend in a game that is critically important for both teams and the injury report will loom large.

Gators quarterback DJ Lagway suffered a hamstring injury against Georgia last weekend and has reportedly been given a chance, however small, to play against the Longhorns. His designation going forward through the week will be important to monitor.

That’s one of several injuries for Florida.

Texas is also dealing with some injuries, though the Longhorns should be a little bit healthier on the injury report given they’re coming off a bye week.

So without further ado, let’s get to the injury report dropped by the league office on Wednesday.

Florida:

DB Ja’Keem Jackson – Out
DB Jason Marshall – Out
WR Eugene Wilson III – Out
RB Treyaun Webb – Out
QB Graham Mertz – Out
DB Asa Turner – Out
WR Kahleil Jackson – Out
DB Devin Moore – Out
OL Devon Manuel – Out
DL Jamari Lyons – Out
RB Montrell Johnson – Questionable
QB DJ Lagway – Questionable
WR Elijhah Badger – Questionable
DB Dijon George – Questionable
OL Damieon George Jr. – Questionable
DL Cam Jackson – Questionable

Texas:

DB Derek Williams Jr. – Out
RB CJ Baxter – Out
RB Christian Clark – Out
RB Velton Gardner – Out
DL Vernon Broughton – Out (1st Half)
DB Andrew Mukuba – Questionable
EDGE Colton Vasek – Questionable
WR Isaiah Bond – Probable

All eyes will be on Lagway and his status on the injury report, as Florida’s chances to win on the road in Austin will take a precipitous drop in the event he is unable to play. At the very least, Lagway figures to miss some valuable practice time as he nurses his hamstring injury.

Other Florida players haven’t been so lucky.

The Gators recently lost star cornerback Jason Marshall to a season-ending shoulder injury, while several others in the secondary have been banged up in recent weeks. Florida could be a bit of a MASH unit in the back end if the injury report is any indication.

Meanwhile, Texas has been hit hardest by injuries in the backfield.

Running backs CJ Baxter, Christian Clark and Velton Gardner have all been ruled out for the season.

Two other players who have appeared on recent injury reports for Texas to keep an eye on are defensive back Andrew Mukuba and receiver Isaiah Bond. Both missed the team’s most recent game against Vanderbilt after being listed as doubtful earlier in the week.
