Will Muschamp gave an update on key injuries to Jake Bentley and Bryan Edwards on Wednesday. As the week goes on, it looks more likely that both will play Saturday against Missouri.
"Jake Bentley practiced, moved around OK," Muschamp said on the SEC Teleconference, later adding that Edwards looks "good to go" this week.

Bentley injured his knee late in the game against Kentucky this week. Edwards left the field on a cart, after suffering an ankle sprain on one of the Gamecocks' final drives of the game.
Muschamp said Tuesday that Bentley practiced some, but was sore, and Bryan Edwards practiced as well.
Those are the best-case scenarios for a team getting hit pretty hard by an injury bug right now.

Eldridge Thompson is still managing a shoulder injury and Muschamp said he's not sure if Thompson, a senior linebacker, will be ready for Saturday's game.
Another bit of good news is that Chad Terrell, who is coming off an ACL injury he had this spring, practiced and will play this week.
The Gamecocks will play Missouri at noon on the SEC Network, after coming off a loss to Kentucky this past week.
