UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton has made tremendous strides as he continues his rehabilitation from a catastrophic knee injury that nearly cost him his leg in 2018. While most people associated with the Knights football program believe Milton’s return to the football field is inevitable, don’t expect it to happen soon.
“McKenzie won’t play in this football game here and realistically the first couple weeks of the season,” Heupel said. “He’s continuing to do more and more out at practice. His heath is continuing to get better. He’s throwing with our guys and moving around the pocket and doing those types of things.
