The entire Gator nation felt their hearts drop to their stomach last night after CB Vernon Hargreaves III injured his left knee while participating in a scuffle between defensive backs and wide receivers. Hargreaves was noticeably limping and required assistant from trainers to walk. This morning Gator nation can breathe a sigh of relief.
Update from @CoachWMuschamp: “An MRI revealed that Vernon Hargreaves suffered a bone bruise and he is listed as day to day.”

Hargreaves is one of the Gators top players on defense so this certainly is encouraging. After the rash of injuries in the 2013 season that decimated the Gators team, this was a scare for the ages in Gainesville. I’m doubting we will hear too much more of fighting in Gators practice after this event.
