The biggest possible blow to Florida's offensive line comes in the form of terrible news for its best player.
The official word about Florida's Roderick Johnson is as bad as it could be: The massive offensive tackle's Gators career is over after a diagnosis of congenital cervical stenosis.
Florida’s medical staff has diagnosed Johnson, a redshirt sophomore who started three games last season, with congenital cervical stenosis. The condition is a narrowing of the spinal canal enveloping the spinal cord, preventing enough fluid to gather around the spinal cord to properly protect it from injury.
