Injury updates: Florida’s bye week gives the Gators an opportunity to rest, but some players may still need more time than that to get back to full strength. Joey Ivie is still in a cast from hand surgery. Jordan Sherit participated in shorts during Tuesday’s practice; he is recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery. Jim McElwain did not rule Jarrad Davis (sprained ankle) out for the Georgia game but Davis will not practice this week. On the offensive side of the ball, Jordan Cronkrite has an upper leg injury and DeAndre Goolsby injured a finger against Missouri. Neither player is practicing this week.
