Florida Football Injury Update: 4 Starters On Defense Could Miss Georgia Game

Defensive tackle Joey Ivie had thumb surgery and is still recovering from that.

Defensive ends Bryan Cox Jr. (thumb) and Jordan Sherit (knee) are also dealing with injuries.

Cox hurt his thumb prior to the Missouri game in warmups and coach Jim McElwain says he might be out for a while.

“I don’t know whether he’ll go again this year,” McElwain said. “It’s totally up to see where the medical evidence and obviously where they are mentally as far as moving forward. We’d sure like to have him back but you never know.
