Florida’s sophomore RB to have surgery for lingering leg fracture

Treyaun Webb might not miss the rest of the season after having surgery to correct his broken leg but it is yet another blow to the Florida Gators roster depth.

Florida football lost another player to the injury bug, with running back [autotag]Treyaun Webb[/autotag] scheduled to undergo surgery for his fractured tibia, according to a report from Swamp247.

Webb was initially listed as “available” on last Wednesday’s SEC availability report ahead of the Georgia Bulldogs matchup. On Thursday, however, he was downgraded to “out” leaving him on the sidelines for the 34-20 loss.

“Treyaun obviously we’ll have a little bit more specific details for you later this week,” Napier said Monday at the team’s press conference, “but in general it was kind of unforeseen situations there that contributed to both (Webb and Eugene Wilson’s injuries).”

There is no given timetable or prognosis given for Webb’s condition at this point.

The sophomore out of Jacksonville, Florida, has been out of action since the Gators’ Week 4 win at the Mississippi State Bulldogs, in which he rushed eight times for 41 yards. This fall, recorded 91 yards on 21 carries (4.4 yards per carry) and scored a touchdown in the season opener against the Miami Hurricanes.
