“I think he’s made really good progress,” Kelly said during Wednesday’s SEC Coaches Teleconference. “I think what you’ll see is his workload, when it relates to plays, will increase dramatically over the next four weeks. It will start this week on special teams and then will continue to then pick up at the corner position.

“So, I think the plan has always been about gradually bringing him in and the reps will start with increased reps at special teams. Visibly, you’ll see that on Saturday against Nicholls with special teams play. And then a little bit more corner bit and that will gradually pick up over the next month.”
