GAINESVILLE — Florida quarterback DJ Lagway practiced Saturday for the first time since camp opened, a sign of progress for the highly touted and oft-injured sophomore.

So long as the latest ailment remains a relatively minor issue, Lagway should be back on the field well in advance of Florida's Week 1 game against Long Island. The Gators may go as Lagway goes this fall; a healthy version could make them a darkhorse contender to reach the SEC Championship Game.
