TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/AP) — When it comes to the rivalry between the Florida State Seminoles and the Miami Hurricanes, any advantage is a welcomed one.

Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher says starting center Austin Barron could be ready to play against Miami on Saturday.

Barron has been out since breaking his arm against Wake Forest on Oct. 4. He returned to practice this week.

Fisher said Tuesday that Barron's been doing football activities and doctors said he should be "good to go."

There was some worry that Barron would miss the rest of the season, but Fisher said, "he's healing a little quicker than we thought, but (it's) not a stunner."

Barron took over as the starting center for his senior season in 2014, but had played in 30 games during his first three years. He joined four returning senior starters from the 2013 national championship team on the offensive line.
