Florida QB DJ Lagway Sidelined to Open Fall Camp, with His Latest Injury Being a Calf Strain

GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA, JUL 28 – DJ Lagway enters fall camp with a minor lower leg injury but is expected to play this season despite previous shoulder and sports hernia surgeries, reports say.

  • Florida quarterback DJ Lagway opened fall camp sidelined due to a calf strain while wearing a walking boot as of July 30, 2025.
  • Lagway's latest injury follows a hamstring strain suffered on November 2, 2024, that sidelined him for the November 9 game against Texas.
  • Although limited by previous shoulder and sports hernia surgeries in 2024, Lagway started seven games, achieving a 6-1 record and guiding Florida to four consecutive victories to finish the season.
  • In 2024, Lagway completed 60% of his passes, throwing for nearly 1,915 yards along with 12 touchdown passes and nine interceptions. On July 30, 2025, coach Napier described Lagway's calf injury as "not ideal."
  • With Lagway sidelined, Harrison Bailey is expected to start, and Florida aims to build on higher expectations for its first SEC title since 2008 amid ongoing injury challenges to their quarterback.
