Trautwein to miss season opener

GAINESVILLE - Senior offensive lineman Phil Trautwein has a stress fracture in his right foot and will miss Saturday's season opener against Western Kentucky.

Florida coach Urban Meyer said Wednesday that the extent of Trautwein's injury is unclear and he doesn't know how long he'll be out.

Trautwein, an All-SEC selection last season and the Gators' most experience lineman, has been in a boot for more than a week, and Meyer said at first it was a precautionary measure. On Wednesday, he said it's too early to determine Trautwein's future, including a medical redshirt.

"We're nowhere near that now,'' Meyer said.
