Georgia defense getting 2 suspended players back

No one was more relieved than Sanders Commings when Georgia got through its first two games unscathed.
Now, he's ready to start doing his part.
Commings, a versatile player who can start at either cornerback or safety, has completed a two-game suspension after being charged during the offseason for domestic violence. He is eager to get back on the field for the seventh-ranked Bulldogs, who play host to Florida Atlantic on Saturday.
''It was tough,'' Commings said Tuesday. ''But I've just been practicing hard and making sure I was ready when it was time to come back.''
That time is now, and he's not the only one. Linebacker Chase Vasser has served his suspension for a DUI arrest, giving a further boost to a defensive unit that was short-handed for wins over Buffalo and Missouri.
''It feels like everything is starting to come together,'' nose tackle John Jenkins said. ''We're starting to get our guys back.''
Still unresolved is the status of two other suspended starters on defense - All-American safety Bacarri Rambo and inside linebacker Alec Ogletree.
Coach Mark Richt has been vague about their transgressions and just how long they'll be out, though it appears Rambo's suspension will last at least two more games. The player's high school coach already revealed that Rambo had a second positive drug test for marijuana, which would result in a four-game suspension under school policy.
