Florida WR Percy Harvin did not practice Tuesday because of a hip pointer injury he suffered during the Mississippi game.

Gators coach Urban Meyer said Harvin needs roughly three days to recover, but he's certain the sophomore will play against Auburn on Saturday.

Harvin was fighting through the injury by running during practice, but the sophomore left about 45 minutes early to receive treatment.

"It's a concern cause he's missing practice," Meyer said. "He plays better when he practices. I mean he's killing himself trying to get back."

Harvin recorded nine catches for 104 yards in the first half against the Rebels, but missed out on most of the second half because of the injury.

Meanwhile, WR Andre Caldwell will probably miss Saturday's game, Meyer said, but freshman OL Maurkice Pouncey will be back from his low ankle sprain.

DEFENSIVE LINE: Sophomore Brandon Antwine, who has been hampered by a hyper-extended elbow, may see some playing time at defensive tackle.

Meyer expects Antwine to be healthy for the Auburn game, and he noted the lineman as an up-and-comer after practice.

"I have to check with Greg [Mattison] to see how good of a day he had, but there's a lot of competition right now at D-line," Meyer said.

Meyer also said he is still considering implementing Carlos Dunlap.
