Florida plans to ease quarterback DJ Lagway into the season after he missed spring practice and most of fall camp.

Lagway made his camp debut back on Aug. 2, throwing passes while wearing a sleeve on his left leg. He progressed over the ensuing weeks and is now in line to enter the year at full speed. The final stretch of camp marked the first time this offseason that the star sophomore suited up in a full capacity for official practices after missing the spring with a separate shoulder issue.

Florida quarterback DJ Lagway is cleared to start the opening game of the season for the 15th-ranked Gators on Saturday against FCS Long Island.
