Wiregrass Tiger Trek / Injury Update

[RunInRed 16,355]

Injuries piled up during the spring for Auburn, but Gus Malzahn is expecting a healthy roster when the Tigers start practicing again in August.

Twelve players were held out of Auburn's A-Day game April 18, though many of the injuries were not serious.

Three players are on the mend following surgeries: cornerback T.J. Davis (ACL), cornerback Jonathan Jones (foot) and defensive end DaVonte Lambert (ACL).

"Everybody is coming along well," Malzahn said Monday outside a Tiger Trek event in Eufaula. "We expect our entire team to be ready."

Davis underwent surgery to repair an ACL in mid-March. Lambert had surgery in November and did not participate in spring drills.

"Obviously we'd like to have those guys back starting out (in August), so we'll just see, but we expect them all to be on the field in a short period of time, at least after the season starts," Malzahn said.
