GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida linebacker Jelani Jenkins is expected to play Saturday against No. 4 LSU after missing the last two games.
Jenkins broke his right thumb Sept. 8 at Texas A&M and missed games against Tennessee and Kentucky.
Coach Will Muschamp says Jenkins has practiced in a non-contact jersey this week, but should be cleared for full contact later in the week.
Muschamp says Jenkins will “be able to play in all situations. … If he can play, he can play. And that means he can play on first-and-10, he can play on third down. As we move forward, that’s the way I would see it.”
Jenkins, a fourth-year junior, was third on the team with 75 tackles last season.
