Muschamp: Florida TE Jake McGee out for season - CBSSports.com via rbr

Will Muschamp confirmed after the game that transfer tight end Jake McGee suffered a broken tibia and fibula in his left leg and will miss the remainder of the season. "So disappointed for him, a guy that came in here and, very difficult to come into a situation for one year," Muschamp said. "He has done it as well as you can imagine ... It's extremely disappointing for him."​

And that's the transfer tight end that they were hoping would turn into a major contributor in the passing game. It always sucks to lose players. To lose them in a blowout win against an overmatched opponent is just salt in the wound.

OT D.J. Humphries out 2-3 weeks with bone chip-rbr

Florida offensive tackle D.J. Humphries was injured in the first quarter of Florida's 65-0 win over Eastern Michigan, and the junior starter at left tackle will likely be out at least two to three weeks with a bone chip in his ankle. Humphries headed to the locker room midway through the first quarter and did not return.

"Injury-wise, D.J. Humphries is going to be (out) probably two weeks," coach Will Muschamp said. "He has a chip on his bone in his ankle, and it's not anything serious. There's no surgical issues there. We will know much more tomorrow, but (head athletic trainer) Paul (Silverstri) felt like it would be a two- to three-week situation. There's going to be some swelling and it's going to be sore, but no surgery is needed. He's going to be back."​

That's the starting left tackle, who has to be considered questionable against Bama.
