Florida got center [autotag]Kingsley Eguakun[/autotag] back for all of one week as the senior offensive lineman returned to the injury list on Wednesday.
But there’s little reason for Florida fans to fear. The Gators are heavy favorites at home against Charlotte this week and Eguakun is expected to return for the Gators’ Week 5 road matchup against Kentucky, according to Swamp247.
Eguakun hurt his ankle during fall camp (Aug. 16), which caused him to miss the first two games of the year. He played all 71 snaps for Florida on offense against Tennessee, though. It’s unclear just how hurt Eguakun still is, but he won’t get too many chances to rest moving forward.
The Vanderbilt game in two weeks could be an option, but the Gators might want to be at full force after falling to the Commodores in 2022.
Eguakun didn’t have his best game against Tennessee. He finished the night with a 46.3 rating on offense — a 52.6 rating as a run blocker and a 41.1 rating as a pass blocker. He was elite against the pass rush in 2022, especially over the first seven games of the season.
Hopefully, the rest will get Eguakun back where he needs to be.
