Georgia star running back and Heisman trophy candidate Todd Gurley has missed the Bulldogs' last two games (both UGA victories) due to an indefinite suspension over allegedly receiving money for signing autographs.
However, it appears that the Bulldogs might have Gurley back on the field this week.
UGA has released statement saying they will apply for Todd Gurley's reinstatement with the NCAA later today

UGA "hopes for and expects a prompt ruling by the NCAA so that Todd, his coaches, and teammates can adequately prepare for our next game."

UGA statement does not outright say Gurley will be reinstated to play vs. Florida. But it does seem to be the implication.

The NCAA still has to approve Gurley's return, but it seems likely that he'll be back on the field for Georgia's next matchup against rival Florida on November 1.
Many expected Gurley to return for Georgia's game with Arkansas this past Saturday, but the school decided to keep him out.
Freshman running back Nick Chubb has rushed for 345 yards and three touchdowns in Gurley's absence.
