Preseason All-SEC offensive tackle Martez Ivey has a nagging injury that will have to be dealt with and monitored over the course of the season, Florida coach Jim McElwain said Wednesday.

“Tez is OK to go,” McElwain said. “We’re going to have to manage that like we did his freshman year. He’ll be ready to go at tackle for us.”

Ivey had to cope with an injured knee in 2015. McElwain has not been specific when addressing Ivey’s current injury, only saying he has missed some practice time with some swelling.
