Now seven days away from the season, the Florida Gators football team received some bad news on Saturday, as they learned that star freshman wide receiver Andre Debose has a serious hamstring injury.

The full extent of the injury is still unclear and head coach Urban Meyer said he would know more details on Monday.

Still,it sounds like the best case scenario for Debose at this point ismissing the first half of the season or so and coming on to contributein the second half of the year.

In alllikelihood, the injury will probably require surgery and could forceDebose into a redshirt year. However, if Debose's recovery is on theshort side, he could still have an impact in SEC play for the Gators.

Deboseinjured the hamstring in the final track meet of his senior year inhigh school. It was thought to be a minor strain at the time, but ithas limited Debose throughout fall practice and wasn't going away. Hewill get it looked at over the weekend, and we should get a finalverdict on Monday.

Some good news for the Gators is that linebacker Dustin Doe is back with the team after serving a suspension following several traffic citations and driving without a license repeatedly.

Doeis still undoubtedly in Urban Meyer's doghouse, but his return shouldprovide some added depth for the Gators. Doe has likely lost hisstarting spot and will play a backup role in his final year inGainesville. He practiced with the second team today.
