Florida will enter Jon Sumrall's first season in Gainesville with a relatively clean injury report.
The Gators were hit by injuries throughout the 2025 season, including significant setbacks to several key players, but Sumrall said Monday that his team is largely healthy ahead of Saturday's opener against FAU.
"We're pretty healthy," Sumrall said in his Week 1 press conference. "The injury report is pretty positive in regard to having pretty much everybody ready to go."
Only one player, walk-on running back Kelvin Jimenez, has been ruled out for the season. Tight end Evan Chieca remains questionable after missing time during camp, although he has returned to practice.
"Chieca is questionable. He's practicing. He's running around, but it's a matter of how far we want to push him," Sumrall said. "I'm not sure about his availability for Saturday yet. It's not off the table, but it's not a green light yet."
