AUBURN, Ala. — The Auburn running game that smashed the SEC rushing record in a conference game last weekend may get yet another boost when the Tigers play at Ole Miss on Saturday.

Kerryon Johnson is on track to return to action after missing last Saturday's 56-3 win over Arkansas with a sore ankle.

"I would expect him to play," coach Gus Malzahn said. "I think he's moving closer to 100 percent each day."

Malzahn reserved the right to reverse his course, saying he'd know more after Tuesday's practice.
