The Florida Gators opened spring practice on Thursday afternoon with a Billy Napier press conference and it started with some tough news. Starting quarterback and emerging superstar DJ Lagway will be limited in spring practice due to his shoulder and lower body.

Gators coach Billy Napier, set to oversee his first team practice of the spring Thursday afternoon, announced earlier in the day his staff will take a cautious approach with sophomore quarterback DJ Lagway as he tends to shoulder and lower-body issues that afflicted him down the stretch last fall.

QB DJ Lagway is managing shoulder and lower body ailments lingering from last season, limiting his spring participation.
