Florida Gators head coach Billy Napier gave an update on his squad including the progress of running back Montrell Johnson Jr.
, who’s been out with a knee injury, is still in the middle of recovery after a minor procedure nearly two weeks ago.
“Montrell’s doing fantastic," said Napier. "He’s been able to do a few things. We expect him to be able to participate in practice, whether that’s modified and at some point full speed. We’ll give an update, obviously we’re getting ready to turn the page into game week. We’ll give you updates per the timeline up until the game, but we have confidence that Montrell’s doing great and feel good about his return.
“He’s had a great offseason,” Napier said after the Gators’ first scrimmage. “He's definitely playing faster. His skill level’s improving. He's getting comfortable. Like we've talked about before: we kind of have those top three and then you got this group that's competing. He's in that group.”Additionally, wide receiver Ja’Quavion Fraziars has a lower-body injury, according to Napier. He did not participate in any of Saturday’s warmups, individual drills or scrimmage.
