Gator RB Demps out of boot, 'probable' he'll play vs. Tide

One of the big issues leading into the Florida/Alabama game circles around the foot of Florida running back Jeff Demps. It was sprained Saturday against Kentucky and coach Urban Meyer said he expected him to play this week in Tuscaloosa. Speaking on this morning’s SEC teleconference, Meyer updated the speedster’s status. Demps is no longer wearing the walking boot on the injured foot and expects him to practice on a limited basis Wednesday afternoon. For Saturday, Demps is listed at "probable." Demps sprained his left foot in UF's Sept. 18 against Tennessee, and then aggravated the injury during the win over Kentucky last Saturday. His 367 yards rushing are more than double the Gators' No. 2 rusher Mike Gillislee (143).
