OXFORD - Ole Miss welcomed one of its offensive playmakers back to the practice field on Tuesday afternoon.

But it's uncertain whether he'll join the team on the field against No. 15 Georgia on Saturday.

Receiver Dexter McCluster practiced for the first time since suffering a shoulder injury in late August. The sophomore has been sidelined for four games, but Orgeron said he has been cleared to practice in a yellow, non-contact jersey this week.

"We think he's going to play this Saturday, but we don't know yet," Orgeron said. "He was still in the yellow shirt today."

McCluster sustained a week before the season opener at Memphis. It was another setback in his injury-plagued career. He hasn't played in Ole Miss' past 10 games since suffering a concussion and shoulder injury on the opening kickoff against Vanderbilt on Oct. 7, 2006.

If McCluster does return to action, he would bolster a group that has been the team's biggest surprise this season. Orgeron said McCluster's status will be closely monitored this week.
