A day after lifting the suspension, interim head coach Ed Orgeron announced Thursday that he expects DL Davon Godchaux will play this weekend against Missouri.
O says Godchaux has been practicing and "things have cleared up."

The junior had been initially charged with domestic abuse following an argument with his girlfriend — although the charges have since been dropped.
Godchaux’s presence within the starting lineup is massive on a number of fronts. Not only is he a three-year starter, but Godchaux — along with Arden Key — helps to form one of the most potent defensive line one-two punches within the SEC.
Orgeron was effusive in his praise of the big defensive lineman during the Wednesday SEC teleconference:
“Davon is an excellent young man. I’ve coached him for a couple of years now. He’ll return to the team today. We’ll take it day-by-day and we’ll make sure we have all the information available before we make any other decision, but he will be with the team today.”
