South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp said again during his Tuesday press conference that he expects wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Bryan Edwards to be available for the Georgia game Saturday.

"They were great today," Muschamp said of their health in today's practice.

Samuel, a redshirt sophomore, has missed three straight games with a hamstring injury that also plagued him for much of last season.

A true freshman, Edwards tweaked a hamstring injury at Kentucky two games ago and missed last week against Texas A&M.

"I think today at practice, having Deebo Samuel and Bryan Edwards back at practice, we're better coaches," Muschamp said. "That's good to see. That's exciting to see and our players feel that too. It gives us some other options within the offense of things we need to do."

Edwards is second on the team with 17 catches for 223 yards. Samuel has four catches for 66 yards on the season.
