Pair of Gators will miss Sugar Bowl after successful surgery

Florida will be a little shorthanded against Louisville next month in the Sugar Bowl.

Coach Will Muschamp said Monday that linebacker Jelani Jenkins (pictured) and offensive lineman Ian Silberman had surgery to repair foot and shoulder injuries, respectively. The surgeries were successful, but both will miss the bowl game against the Cardinals. Additionally, redshirt junior lineman Matt Patchan (torn pectoral) has not been cleared to play.

No other players are expected to miss the bowl trip.

Jenkins played in nine games this season and ranked as one of the top-1o tacklers on the team with 29 tackles. He also recorded five tackles for loss, a pair of sacks and an interception.
