It is unclear exactly what injury he sustained last week but it is possible that it was an exacerbation of the symptoms he dealt with after being knocked out of the game against the Georgia Bulldogs with a head injury. That hit, which resulted in a concussion, came as the result of a play that drew a targeting penalty from the referees.
Gators redshirt senior quarterback Kyle Trask will be without his top pass-catcher but will still have many weapons at his disposal including the elusive Kadarius Toney.
