AUBURN, Ala. u2015 Auburn impact defender Carl Lawson will return to practice Tuesday and could play in Saturday's game against Ole Miss, coach Gus Malzahn said at his weekly press conference.
"That should give our guys a lift," Malzahn said.
Malzahn stopped short of saying Lawson would play in Saturday's game, but said it was a good sign that his defender is back on track.
"He's excitied to be back there for his team," Malzahn said.
Lawson, known for his pass rushing abilities, hasn't played since injuring his hip in the first half of the season-opener.
