Several injured Gators could return this week

Florida will return to practice Monday afternoon after taking the weekend off, and several injured Gators are expected to participate and be ready to play when the Gators host Kentucky on Saturday, coach Urban Meyer said.

RB Chris Rainey (shoulder), RB Emmanuel Moody (sprained ankle) and K Caleb Sturgis (hyperextended knee) are all scheduled to return to practice.
Moody may not participate in the full practice on Monday, but Meyer said there's a good chance he'll be ready to play on Saturday. He did not play in the LSU game two weeks ago, while Rainey was injured in that game.

Meyer described his team as "very professional'' in the two weeks following the loss to Ole Miss and said he's eager to see how they respond this week at practice, particularly today, after taking several days off and being away from each other and the coaching staff all weekend due to the bye week.
