AUBURN, Ala. u2015 Coach J.B. Grimes is talking about his offensive line, saying the combination of experience and talent should give Auburn an edge this season, and saying he can't wait to see his players in action when fall practice begins Tuesday.

J.B. Grimes, a tough-minded offensive line coach, will be there, roughly a week after he had successful surgery to remove a cancerous spot on his tongue and, as a precaution, his lymph nodes removed on the right side of his neck.

"I will not miss practice," Grimes said Tuesday.
