Trask was making his third career start following the season-ending injury to Feleipe Franks. He suffered an ankle injury against the Kentucky Wildcats.

The junior quarterback went 19 of 31 for 234 yards. He also threw two touchdowns in the Gators win.

At press time, it is not known how long he’ll be sidelined. Or if he’ll be able to play through the pain like some athletes do in order to be out on the field with their teammates.

According to Mass General Brigham, the recovery time for a player, who has suffered a mild MCL sprain, is 3-4 weeks. However, the Gators said that it was a ‘light’ MCL sprain.

Since it is a ‘light’ MCL sprain, he may be sidelined for a week or two.
