GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida will begin spring practice without at least four players due to injuries, while a few more recover from injuries they suffered in the 2013 season.

RB Matt Jones will miss spring practice after suffering a radial meniscus tear during the 2013 season.

Starting running back Matt Jones will miss spring ball after undergoing surgery on a radial tear of his meniscus that will require a second surgery to complete.

The first surgery helped repair 60 percent of the meniscus. After rebuilding strength in his quad muscle, Jones will undergo a second surgery to repair the remaining 40 percent.

"When you hear a meniscus you feel, 'OK, it’s just a meniscus, you go in and reattach it and it’s fine,'" Muschamp said. "But this was torn all the way through. It’s a little more serious than a regular meniscus."

Matt Rolin (torn ACL), Jeremi Powell (torn ACL) and Alex Anzalone (torn labrum) will all miss the spring recovering from their injuries.

Receiver Andre Debose will participate in spring in non-contact work, while offensive linemen Tyler Moore and Octavius Jackson are questionable for spring practice.

Moore is expected to play but will have another X-ray in two to three weeks on the compound elbow fracture he suffered in early November following a scooter accident.

Jackson had shoulder surgery to repair a recurring issue and Florida expects to know more about his availability for spring in a few weeks.

All other players who suffered injuries in 2013 are expected to be available for spring practice.
