Florida’s eventual 66-21 rout over Florida Atlantic was played without wide receiver Eric Singleton Jr.
Singleton was sidelined for the game after a player fell on him while setting up a block for Vernell Brown III’s 49-yard touchdown in the first quarter.
Singleton never left the sidelines, and remained fully dressed out for the duration of the game.
"He had a little ankle (injury)," Florida coach Jon Sumrall said. "I don't know how severe. Tried to give it a go. We'll see. I'll have more information probably on Monday, but yeah unfortunate. It happened really, really early."
Singleton was expected to be one of UF’s top receivers after spending time under Florida offensive coordinator’s offense at Georgia Tech before transferring to Auburn last season. The Atlanta native recorded 58 catches for 534 yards and three touchdowns with the Tigers.
In three seasons, he has recorded over 2,000 yards and 12 touchdowns.
