With spring practices and the Orange and Blue Game all wrapped up, four Florida Gators football players underwent surgery, according to Swamp247.
Starting center Jake Slaughter is the most prominent name on the list. He and fellow starting offensive lineman Knijeah Harris underwent arthroscopic procedures — Harris on his left ankle and Slaughter on his right shoulder. Slaughter was among the best centers in all of college football a year ago and is a likely preseason All-American. His return timeline is unknown, however.
Arthroscopy is generally less invasive than what's thought of as traditional surgery, according to the National Institute of Health, but each procedure requires a different amount of rest to recover fully, especially before being cleared to play in tackle football.
