A.J. Green good to go vs. Tigers

ATHENS -- Good news for the Georgia Bulldogs: A.J. Green will be back on the field for Saturday's game against Auburn.

The sophomore receiver sat out last week's 38-0 rout of Tennessee Tech to recover from a bruised lung doled out by No. 1 Florida. It was the first game at any level of football that he's missed because of injury.

``A.J. Green has been able to practice at full speed,'' coach Mark Richt said.

The Bulldogs (5-4, 3-3 SEC) also are counting on the return of defensive end Justin Houston, who didn't play last week because of a hyper-extended elbow.

``I think everybody will be ready to play,'' Richt said.

Green is Georgia's top receiver 44 receptions for 732 yards and six touchdowns.

Houston leads the team with five sacks, even though he's only played in six of nine games.
