Marcus Roberson > probably will miss practice today and tomorrow and should be back with an > ankle on Wednesday.” > Murphy’s shoulder has been bothering him since he sprained it in the LSU game > last month. He said he expects to be fine for Saturday’s game. > “It’s very difficult just because after these last few losses and not playing > well on Saturday, I need all the practice I can get,” Murphy said. “It’s just > frustrating being banged up a little bit and having to sit out and try to get > healthy.

Humphries, who missed the > last two games with a sprained knee, is doubtful for Saturday’s game at South > Carolina. > Muschamp also said redshirt freshman linebacker Jeremi Powell, a starter on > special teams, will have knee surgery this week. He tore his ACL in the loss > to Missouri on Oct. 19. > Despite the injury to Morrison, which damages depth at linebacker, Muschamp > said the situation at the linebacker positions is still solid. > “Mike moves into the Mike, which he’s more comfortable playing probably,” > Muschamp said. “And Jarrad Davis is a guy that we’ve been very pleased with. > He’s a younger player that’s going to be a very good player here. He’s played > outstanding on special teams, and when he’s had his opportunities at > linebacker, he’s played well. He’ll play well. > “Alex Anzalone is a young player coming along that we’re excited about. And > Neiron Ball has played well for us and has done some nice things. Darrin > Kitchens, when he’s been healthy, has played well for us. > “The key, to me, as much as anything, is keeping guys off the second level. > That’s something we haven’t done consistently (with the defensive line).” > Contact Robbie Andreu at 352-374-5022 or [email protected].
