Georgia defensive end Abry Jones, who was slowed by a sprained ankle against Tennessee, practiced Tuesday and “looked like he’s ready to go,” defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said. “We’ll continue to treat him and get him healthy and I think he’ll be fine on Saturday.”

…Offensive lineman Hunter Long practiced Tuesday after being sidelined with a broken foot. He worked at center and guard.

…Coach Mark Richt on Mitchell’s role now: “He’s primarily an offensive player and he’s in a state of readiness on defense.”

…South Carolina right tackle Mike Matulis, who missed the Kentucky game with a sprained shoulder, did not practice Monday, but was expected to take part in practice Tuesday.
