GAINESVILLE — Florida Gators quarterback DJ Lagway is “on schedule,” coach Billy Napier said, but time also is running out as the sophomore star continues to recover from a calf injury with Week 1 set to begin in two weeks.
Lagway did not participate during the Gators’ first scrimmage Saturday in the Swamp, but was impressive and heavily involved at Monday’s practice, Napier told reporters afterward.
“He had his best day today,” Napier said. “He took more reps than he’s been taking. He’s hitting all his numbers from a throw perspective. Ball is coming out of his hand with more velocity than any time in his career.”
Lagway still has no definitive timetable as to when he can handle a full workload, much less play in a game with No. 15 Florida set to host Long Island University Aug
