Coach Jim McElwain offered the update Wednesday, saying ''Vernon probably went from questionable to probable the way he moved.'' McElwain added that ''it's going to be really a decision from him and then obviously the doctors moving forward.''

McElwain was less optimistic about tight end C'yontai Lewis (hand) and receiver/quarterback Josh Grady (leg).

Freshman left tackle Martez Ivey, considered one of the top offensive line recruits, is expected to make his debut after missing the first two games with a knee injury. McElwain says, ''He's good to go. He practiced all week. We haven't set the rotation there yet, but he'll play.''
