Andre Debose might be following in Percy Harvin's footsteps after all.
During his time at UF, Harvin dealt with frequent injuries that seemed to outlive their original diagnoses, and his expected replacement is facing the same thing now.
The talented freshman receiver has struggled with a hamstring injury this offseason, and coach Urban Meyer said it appears to be more serious than he originally thought.
"It's a real injury," Meyer said Saturday. "We were worried it was just a tight hamstring, a hamstring pull or a hamstring strain. It might be something more. We'll have more details on Monday."
Meyer added that it could be a torn tendon, which he believes Debose suffered in his high school state track meet.
DOE RETURNS: Senior linebacker Dustin Doe returned to practice Friday, Meyer said.
Doe was suspended in July after an arrest for repeatedly driving with a suspended license, and after his return, he worked on conditioning during practice. On Saturday, Doe practiced with the second-team defense, joining fellow linebackers Lorenzo Edwards and Jon Bostic, who had the black stripe removed from his helmet.
Meyer said he'll announce Doe's status for the upcoming games next week.
McCRAY IN CAST: Sophomore linebacker Lerentee McCray broke a bone in his right hand but practiced with the team on Saturday.
"He has a broken bone with a big club on it, but he goes as hard as he can," Meyer said. "I love Lerentee."
McCray saw action mostly on special teams during his freshman season, but the coaching staff has praised his ability to pass rush off the edge in three-down-lineman sets and said he could see increased playing time in that role.
