Billy Napier Announces Season Ending Injury For Key Florida Athlete as DJ Lagway Status Updated

Billy Napier and the Florida Gators have hit a rough patch. Now, their record stands at 1-3 after a loss to Miami in what ESPN called the worst offensive showing of Napier’s tenure. The Gators only managed 141 yards and went 0-for-13 on third downs, which laid the execution issues bare. The Gators also close this month with three straight losses and significant injury up front as they enter the bye week before meeting Texas.

As per ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg, “Napier also said CB Dijon Johnson will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury requiring surgery.” The injury in question was sustained by Johnson in the second half of the Miami game. This is a huge blow to an already struggling Gators roster. Johnson had started all four games and logged eight tackles with an interception against LSU. He posted four tackles and a pass breakup against Miami before he headed to the sidelines. His contribution shows how important an anchor he was in the secondary. Now, with him sidelined, former five-star Cormani McClain’s responsibilities are set to increase as he picked an interception against Miami.
