Florida LB Alex Anzalone clarifies practice absence
News out of Florida’s Thursday practice likely had Gators fans in panic mode – for about half an hour.
No sign of #Gators LB Alex Anzalone at Thursday's practice.

Linebacker has been a known issue for the Gators in 2016 since the beginning of spring practice. The departure of Matt Rolin earlier this week was a definite blow to the depth chart, and any serious injury to Anzalone would be catastrophic for the Florida defense. Since Anzalone does have a history of battling the injury bug, it was only natural for UF fans to assume the worst.
You can exhale, Gator Nation:
In case anyone is wondering, I am at grad school orientation today. Don't worry lol
