Juice Wells is making progress, but may not be ready yet this week.

Shane Beamer provided an update on the progression of the South Carolina receiver and his injury.

At Beamer’s news conference on Tuesday, the Gamecocks coach said Wells, who’s been out with a foot injury since the Georgia game, is doubtful to play this week against Florida.

Beamer, however, added that he “wouldn’t 100% close the door on anything” in terms of Wells’ return.

Wells has been out since South Carolina’s Sept. 16 contest against Georgia, when he suffered his injury.

“The injury is healing really well. It’s on the fast track of the healing process,” Beamer said, noted that the redshirt senior met with a specialist in Charlotte on Tuesday morning.

Despite Wells’ injury close to fully healing, Beamer mentioned doesn’t want Wells to suit up versus the Gators “before he’s ready.”

“I don’t want him to go out there without the right mindset as well,” Beamer said.

Beamer anticipates Wells’ injury will be monitored on a week-to-week basis, hinting at the possibility of him returning sooner rather than later.

“Nobody wants to be out there more than Juice,” Beamer said.

Wells so far this season has 3 catches for 37 yards and a touchdown catch.

The Gamecocks lost 41-20 to Tennessee 2 weeks ago. The team, now 2-3 on the season, will prepare for Florida this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on the SEC Network.
