The receivers take another hit: Murphy out with sprained ankle

Aug. 10, 2008

UF has already lost tight end Cornelius Ingram for the season and receiver Percy Harvin still hasn't fully practiced, and now No. 2 receiver Louis Murphy is out with a sprained ankle. Coach Urban Meyer said he doesn't "think it's that serious" and Murphy should be back later this week. However, still not a good sign. For those keeping track at home, that probably leaves Deonte Thompson has the Gators top receiver right now.
