GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida receiver Chris Rainey and left tackle Matt Patchan are being held out of fall practice because of injuries.
Coach Urban Meyer says Rainey was diagnosed with an accelerated heartbeat, but expects him to return to practice later this week after having a non-evasive cardiac procedure.
Meyer says Patchan, who had been splitting time with Xavier Nixon on the first-team offense, has a hairline fracture in his wrist. Patchan could be out two weeks, the latest in a long list of injuries for the junior. Patchan has missed time because of a knee injury, a concussion and a gunshot wound.
Receiver Chris Dunkley also has been limited because of a chronic hamstring injury. Meyer expects him back late next week.
