The Florida Gators may be losing their All-American defensive lineman and best overall player, or Dominique Easley may just have little “tweak” in his knee.

Either way, there’s a lot of uncertainty surround Easley right now after this report came out earlier this morning:

#UF senior DT Dominique Easley injured his knee at practice yesterday according to sources. It is believed to be a torn ACL. #Gators

Later, Easley sent out the following tweet:

Easley. MT "@MR_ChUcKiE_2: Gatornation thank you for all 4 yrs of sticking with me but god has something else planned and have no worries"

So it sounds like the Gators just lost their top d-lineman to a season-ending ACL tear, right?
