Freshman WR Andre Debose's hamstring injury appears to be more serious than just a strain.

Urban Meyer said the freshman will be evaluated for more details of severity of the injury and to see if surgery is needed.

"We found out there is some damage to (Debose's) hamstring," Meyer said. "It doesn't happen very often. It's a tendon, and we're going to evaluate the significance of it. It's a real injury. We were worried it was just a tight hamstring, a hamstring pull or a hamstring strain. It might be something more. We'll have more details on Monday."

Meyer was unsure whether Debose would need surgery, but he did not rule it out. The injury has bothered him most of the summer.

Debose was expected to help replace Percy Harvin's role in the offense.

Doe back with team: Senior LB Dustin Doe returned to practice Friday. He was suspended from the team following his arrest in July for driving without a license. Meyer said he will announce Doe's status regarding further suspension sometime next week.

McCray to play with broken hand: Sophomore LB Lerentee McCray broke his right hand but will continue to play with a cast on it.

"He has a broken bone with a big club on it, but he goes as hard as he can," Meyer said.

Shoulder bothering Rainey: Sophomore RB Chris Rainey did not practice Saturday because of a sore shoulder, but Meyer said he is fine and hasn't missed any other practice.

Rainey missed most of the 2007 season with a shoulder injury that required surgery.

Meyer said he will announce his starting running back next week, but Jeff Demps has a lead.
