GAINESVILLE - Florida wide receiver Percy Harvin's right heel injury might require surgery, and while physicians are still trying to determine the proper treatment, Gators coach Urban Meyer said it doesn't appear the ailment will affect the player's status for the 2008 season.
Meyer said Monday that physicians, including a foot specialist in North Carolina, who have treated Harvin should have a plan within the next several days.
"It's unique," Meyer said of Harvin's heel problem. "Not many guys have ever had this. The MRI showed that it's a significant injury, and they [the physicians] want to make sure they do it right."
Meyer said he didn't know the exact term for Harvin's injury but that it's a bone issue. It's something that Harvin, who will be a junior in the fall, first noticed in high school, and it really began to bother him last summer, Meyer said.
