GAINESVILLE - DE Jermaine Cunningham was on crutches following Tuesday's practice, though Coach Urban Meyer said the injury isn't as bad as it appears.

Cunningham suffered a hyper-extended leg on Saturday and is currently listed as probable.

"We'll know more tomorrow," Meyer said. "We got an MRI and there's no cartilage damage, no ligament damage. It happened early in the game when he attempted a tackle in the open field, so he played most of the game with it. I think he's going to play."

LB Ryan Stamper has a sprained ankle and is also probable.

JENKINS SURPRISES: Freshman CB Janoris Jenkins is leaving many impressed with his play and maturity.

Jenkins played the majority of the game Saturday after starter Wondy Pierre-Louis got beaten on consecutive plays. Jenkins made the most of his opportunity with an interception in the end zone.
