Florida's Pouncey's return to practice; will play on Saturday

Offensive linemen Mike and Maurkice Pouncey returned to the practice field Wednesday afternoon, two days after their stepfather was critically injured in an accident in which his leg had to be amputated.

The twins missed Tuesday's practice to be with their families. Both starters, they are expected to play when the Gators travel to Florida State on Saturday.

"They are doing good,'' senior receiver Louis Murphy said. "God is with them. God is with their family, so they'll be alright.''

Murphy said the Lakeland natives, both sophomores, were surrounded by love from teammates.

"Our team love is, it's like a big family,''' he said.
