Dunedin receiver Jayven Fitzpatrick and Clearwater quarterback Garrison Bryant both could miss the regular season with injuries sustained this past week.
Fitzpatrick severely injured his knee in a 10-7 double-overtime loss to Tarpon Springs. He had his examined by a doctor Monday and the diagnosis was a severly swollen knee. Fitzpatrick said he would have to miss the season.
"An MRI will show more," Fitzpatrick said. "Nothing is broken or fractured. It's swollen. I can bend it and stuff, but it's an injury the doctor says I have to be out the season for.
Falcons coach Matt LePain said he wanted to wait until the MRI results before declaring Fitzpatrick out for the season.
"I'm feeling better. I'm just staying positive that I'll be back before the season."
Bryant broke his collarbone in a 38-6 loss to East Lake. He saw a specialist Monday and said he would be out five to seven weeks.
"It looks like I'll miss the regular season, but I'm staying positive," Bryant said. "I hope to heal quick and be back for the last two games."
