  "account": "Mike Norvell, the head coach of the FSU Seminoles, anticipates several injured players will return to the practice field soon as they gear up for the 2026 season. Florida State concluded its fall camp scrimmages on Sunday, and Norvell explained this was crucial to ensure players who were sidelined have a better opportunity to be back when the season kicks off. Despite several players missing one or both of the scrimmages, Norvell remains optimistic that they could be back in action sooner than expected.\n\nRunning back transfer Quintrevion Wisner has been absent from both scrimmages but Norvell is confident in Wisner's return. Wisner's performance will be vital as Ousmane Kromah and Samuel Singleton Jr. are competing for the starting position. Florida State's linebackers have historically been underwhelming in recent seasons, a deficiency Norvell aims to rectify with new position coach Ernie Sims and several offseason additions. Two of these additions, Mikai Gbayor and Izayia Williams, have been dealing with injuries. However, Norvell is confident both will be back in action within the next week.\n\nGbayor, a first-year Seminole, has experience with defensive coordinator Tony White and is expected to impact the team immediately. Williams, another freshman with a similar goal, is one of several players aiming to make an immediate impact for FSU.",
