The Florida State football team has endured another season-ending injury blow.

FSU third-year wide receiver George Campbell will be out for the rest of the season after again suffering the same hip/core muscle injury that sidelined him last season, coach Jimbo Fisher said after Wednesday’s practice before the Seminoles departed for Boston College for Friday’s game.

Campbell may require surgery again for the injury, but his course of treatment hasn’t been set, Fisher said.

“It’s very difficult because it’s nothing he did. He was coming back. Just certain people, an 8 or 10 percent of people who have this surgery have this issue,” Fisher said of Campbell.

As for two other injured FSU wide receivers, Fisher said junior Auden Tate (shoulder, ankle) will play, but Keith Gavin will be out for “significan­t time” after suffering a knee and high ankle surgery.

Campbell joins a growing list of Seminoles out for the season due to injury, including quarterbac­k Deondre Francois (knee), and offensive linemen Landon Dickerson (ankle), Baveon Johnson (knee) and Jauan Williams (shoulder).

FSU running back Jacques Patrick, who had surgery Tuesday to repair torn cartilage in his knee, does not have a timetable for his return.

After being in and out of the lineup in the last several weeks with a neck injury, Fisher expects senior linebacker Ro’Derrick Hoskins to start against Boston College.

Reserve defensive back Calvin Brewton (knee) and defensive tackle Darvin Taylor (shoulder) will also be out for the Boston game.
