Florida freshman quarterback DJ Lagway returned to action this past weekend against LSU after being injured on Nov. 2 against Georgia and missing the Texas game the following week.
Lagway wasn’t 100 percent healthy against the Tigers as he continues to work his way back to full strength from a hamstring injury, but he was still able to lead Florida to a win over the rival Tigers.
Gators head coach Billy Napier spoke with reporters on Monday and shared how DJ Lagway is doing from a health standpoint.
“Well, I mean, I think he didn’t miss a rep with the first unit last week. So we’ll take the same approach this week,” Billy Napier said. “You know, I think the soft tissue injury, again, those are very subjective, so we got every gadget that you can imagine downstairs. So I mean, I think we’re using all that data and all those metrics to make decisions to try to put him in position to be the healthiest he can be.”
Napier added that even though DJ Lagway still isn’t 100 percent healthy, he is making progress and working towards getting to that point.
So yea, I mean, just day-to-day,” Napier said. “He didn’t have a setback. And I think he feels a little bit better at this point in the week than he did last week.”
Top 10
Lagway threw for 226 yards and a touchdown for the Gators in a 27-16 victory over LSU. He has proven to be a capable dual-threat quarterback during his freshman season, but since he wasn’t 100 percent healthy against the Tigers, he didn’t have a rushing attempt.
