"He hurt himself dancing at the hotel (on Friday)," Mullen said, via AL.com. "He was cleared to play Saturday, and now I don’t know. We’ll see."
The young quarterback explained how he got hurt by tweeting the exact dance move that wronged him.
Richardson had suffered a concussion against Georgia. Mullen said the quarterback was cleared to play after that injury.

"His MRI came back clean. He’s fine. He got cleared to practice Thursday for the concussion. So he only practiced Thursday, then somehow, he hurt his knee dancing Friday night. Then he did treatment all day Saturday but was fine to go play, could have played Saturday but having not practiced, coming off a concussion, and with that, he was going to (an) emergency-only situation. Then he was gimping around earlier today, so we’ll see," Mullen added.

Florida may not need Richardson for Saturday’s game against Samford, but an upset loss to the FCS school would really send the Gators reeling.
