Mullen very blunt: "We need to get healthy"
with cornerback CJ Henderson missing the game with an ankle injury and electric receiver Kadarius Toney out at least a few weeks with a shoulder injury.
starting quarterback Feleipe Franks to a dislocated ankle (out for season)
Defensive end Jabari Zuniga appeared to suffer a foot or ankle injury in the first series against Kentucky. Zuniga returned briefly at the beginning of the second half before exiting again. Florida's pass rush was noticeably less effective with Zuniga out.
Add in an injury to linebacker Amari Burney, who Mullen thought he'd have back for the Kentucky game, and Florida once again struggled in pass coverage when the tight ends were isolated. Oh yeah, and rush end Jonathan Greenard was also sporting a protective boot on his right foot following the game. He said he tweaked his ankle and expects to be fine, but it's another knock to a key player to keep an eye on.
