South Carolina defensive starter will miss practice time this week, expected to play

South Carolina starting defensive end D.J. Wonnum won’t practice in the early parts of this week due to a sprained ankle but is expected to be available when the Gamecocks host No. 3 Georgia on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium, head coach Will Muschamp said Sunday.

“He had more swelling than they would have liked, but I feel like he’ll be ready to go,” Muschamp said during a Sunday evening news conference recapping his team’s 49-15 win over Coastal Carolina on Saturday.

The Gamecocks (1-0) will face the Bulldogs (1-0) at 3:30 p.m. in Williams-Brice Stadium in a game that will be televised by CBS.
