Florida WR Tyrie Cleveland has high ankle sprain, unlikely to play against LSU

Florida’s offense has taken another hit.

With playmakers Antonio Callaway and Jordan Scarlett already out due to a suspension — not to mention starting QB Luke Del Rio out for the season, WR Tyrie Cleveland is also unlikely to play against LSU due to a high ankle sprain.

Jim McElwain announced the news during his Monday press conference. Cleveland left Saturday’s game against Vanderbilt with what appeared to be an ankle injury, and he’s now in a walking boot.

Cleveland leads the Gators with 15 catches for 326 yards and two TDs, including the game-winner against Tennessee.

Obviously, this is a massive loss for the Gators against LSU, as Cleveland has been their biggest and most reliable target.
