GAINESVILLE — Florida quarterback DJ Lagway’s leg injury is “less significant” than feared, paving the way for a potential return this season by the true freshman. Coach Billy Napier said an outside chance exists Lagway could return for this coming weekend’s visit to No. 5 Texas despite suffering a soft tissue injury in his left leg during Saturday’s second quarter of the Gators’ 34-20 loss to No.
