The banged-up Florida receiving corps took another blow when sophomore receiver Percy Harvin missed part of Tuesday's practice with a hip pointer.


Florida coach Urban Meyer said he expects Harvin to recover in time for Saturday's game against Auburn. Harvin first hurt the hip last Saturday at Ole Miss.

"We think we're going to get him back (today)," Meyer said. "Takes about two or three days, but he'll be a go on Saturday, for sure. He's got it where he got hit in the hip in the game. He was out here for three-fourths of (practice) and then they took him in for treatment."

Harvin, who has been relied on more heavily since senior Andre Caldwell went down with a sprained knee two weeks ago, leads Florida receivers in yards (336) and is tied with Riley Cooper for the lead in touchdowns (three).

Harvin is coming off an 11-catch, 121-yard game against the Rebels.
"It's a concern because he's missing practice," Meyer said. "He plays better when he practices. He's killing himself trying to get back. They had him running, he wasn't even supposed to run today but he was fighting through it.

"I've coached guys with hip pointers before. He'll be fine. I just worry about missing practice."
