Georgia running back Todd Gurley returned to practice with the team despite still being on suspension for accepting extra benefits.
Gurley remains on indefinite suspension while Georgia investigates possible violations of NCAA rules. He was held out of the Bulldogs’ 34-0 win at Missouri on Saturday but was back for the practice in full pads.
“It looked good to see him out there,” Georgia linebacker Ramik Wilson said. “He was running hard, practicing hard and still supporting his teammates. We’re ready for him to be cleared and get back out there.”
Georgia fans also are eager to hear whether Gurley will be cleared to play in this week’s game at Arkansas.
Georgia used its Twitter account Monday to tell fans, “We don’t have a Gurley update at this time, nor a timetable. Bear with us.”
William King, an attorney based in Birmingham, Alabama, confirmed to The Associated Press on Monday that he is representing Gurley. King has an extensive background in NCAA compliance matters. He also represented former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton and former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel in their eligibility cases.
Gurley being back at practice doesn’t mean we are closer to a decision one way or the other. I would have been more surprised had he not returned to practice and workouts with the team.
