ATHENS - Middle linebacker Marquis Elmore joined contact drills with the Georgia Bulldogs Wednesday for the first time since early in freshman practice. <br> <br> Elmore had been wearing a green, non-contact jersey as he recovered from arthroscopic back surgery last month. <br> <br> Coach Mark Richt says it is not too late for Elmore to make an impact this season, although he missed all of the two-a-day drills. <br> <br> Depth at middle linebacker was an issue in the win against Clemson on Saturday after starter Tony Gilbert sprained an ankle in the second quarter. <br> <br> Arnold Harrison and freshman Tony Taylor played behind Gilbert, who is expected to return to practice next week. <br> <br> Also Wednesday, junior defensive end Shedrick Wynn -- who entered preseason drills listed as Number three -- was suspended for three games for an undisclosed violation of team rules. <br> <br> Georgia is off this weekend, but will be back September 14 at South Carolina.
