Georgia Tech's Jonathan Dwyer returns to practice

ATLANTA -- Jonathan Dwyer, who suffered a shoulder injury and was limited to five carries for 7 yards in Georgia Tech's loss to Miami, says he expects to play this week against North Carolina.

Dwyer, the 2008 Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year, said he was "pretty much able to do everything" in Monday's practice. He did not participate in Sunday's session after hurting his shoulder in last week's 33-17 loss at Miami. The loss knocked the Yellow Jackets out of the Top 25.

The junior running back said he expects to play in Saturday's game against No. 22 North Carolina if he has no setback this week.
