GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Florida offensive tackle Rod Johnson is out indefinitely following a ”stinger” that left his fingers numb.
Coach Jim McElwain says Johnson was hurt in practice Friday. The coach indicated that tests on Johnson’s neck/shoulder revealed ”some things that he might have had well before from that area.”
His injury leaves the Gators with just six healthy scholarship linemen for the final three spring practices.
Johnson played in all 12 games last season, with three starts, and was expected to solidify the right tackle position.
McElwain says Johnson ”got banged up and … his fingers kind of went numb and, you know, kind of stinger-ish type of deal. … We’ll get that thing looked at by a lot of different people.”
