Auburn, Ala.--Coach Gus Malzahn said after Saturday's practice that the Auburn football team's leading returning receiver, Duke Williams, will not be allowed to return to practice until he gets his situation with the head coach in order.

The Tigers wrapped up their first week of preseason camp on Saturday with a full pads practice. For a second consecutive day Williams was absent. Malzahn will not say why the receiver is in his doghouse or what he has to do to get back into the good graces of the coaching staff.

Williams, a potential NFL first round draft pick, joined the team last year and performed well, but was suspended for the bowl game for a violation of team rules. He practiced in the spring and won praise for his play in the drills.
