Napier said that the Gators will not be missing Zipperer, a top TE target, long term and that he is dealing with a knee injury. Shorter, one of the top receivers on the Gators squad, practiced on limited reps with a hamstring issue. usually, hamstrings are nothing to mess around with, but the severity is unknow as of now.
The Gators need a win vs. Texas A&M to solidify bowl hopes. The Gators are 4-4 with games they can win against South Carolina and Vanderbilt. Texas A&M would all but punch their ticket.
