GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Florida coach Urban Meyer is back at
practice after his leave of absence.

Meyer is blowing a whistle and engaging players, but also is
clearly less involved in certain aspects of his team's first spring
practice. Meyer has several assistants helping with special teams
drills, something the coach usually handles alone.

Citing health concerns three weeks after he complained of chest
pains, Meyer announced his resignation in late December. He changed
his mind the following day, deciding instead to take an indefinite
leave.

He scaled back in January - he didn't go on the road recruiting
- but still hired four assistant coaches and assembled the nation's
No. 1 recruiting class. He has declined to divulge details about
his health.
