Injured players expected back for Florida Gators vs Georgia Bulldogs

Urban Meyer expects most of his injured players to suit up.
Meyer said running back Jeff Demps (neck), linebacker Brandon Spikes (groin), defensive end Justin Trattou (bicep) and defensive tackles Lawrence Marsh (ankle) and Jaye Howard (knee) all should play against the Bulldogs.
Trattou's status is the most surprising, as his bicep tendon injury was expected to cost him at least a month.
``[Trattou is] one of the toughest guys I've ever been around,'' said Meyer, who added the injury is more about pain management than structural damage.
KICKER SPOT UNCERTAIN
Meyer said the battle for the starting kicker job is open again. Caleb Sturgis took over after Jonathan Phillips missed a 39-yard field goal against Troy, and though he hit a 51-yarder and a 27-yard game-winner against Arkansas, Sturgis also has missed three field goals and an extra point.

"They both kicked really well,'' Meyer said. "I'm not sure what I'm going to do Saturday.''
