D.J. Smith is also expected to resume practicing and play this week after missing the entirety of the Florida game despite dressing.

He's nursing a hip pointer he suffered against Georgia and was held out Saturday. He went through pregame warmups but was ultimately ruled out and didn't play.

Muschamp said the coaches are hoping he'll be able to return this week, but if he can't then it'll likely be Steven Montac manning the primary safety role against Wofford.

Dante Sawyer is nursing a hip and groin injury but "felt good," Muschamp said.
