Sophomore linebacker Shemar James suffered a knee dislocation in week nine that will sideline him for the remainder of the 2023 season, as announced by Head Coach Billy Napier during Florida’s Wednesday press conference.
“He’s done. He had surgery today and he’s out,” Napier said on James’ injury. “He’ll be back for spring practice. This will be about a four-month deal. Ultimately, it’s just, it’s much like a shoulder dislocation. It’s a kneecap dislocation. Happened to him in high school, it was an injury he had before. Much like a shoulder comes out, if it comes out again you’ve got to get it fixed.
