Gainesville, Fla ? Wearing full pads and sweating from head to toe, Tim Tebow took snaps, threw passes and ran option plays Tuesday in his first practice since suffering a concussion 10 days ago.

The only thing Florida’s star quarterback wasn’t allowed to do was run over anybody.

Tebow returned to practice on a limited basis, though he still has not been cleared to play in the top-ranked Gators’ Saturday night game at No. 4 LSU. Tebow wore a red, non-contact jersey — normal for quarterbacks — and took snaps with the first-team offense.

“He looked like Tim out there today,” coach Urban Meyer said. “Obviously practice is a lot different from what’s going to happen Saturday night. We’re still doing an evaluation.”

The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner suffered a concussion in Florida’s last game, against Kentucky on Sept. 26, when his head slammed into a teammates knee after he took a hard hit to the chest. He spent the night in a Lexington, Ky., hospital and sat out practice last week (Florida was off) and again Monday.

He started running and lifting weights a few days ago. But Tebow didn’t receive partial clearance to return to the field until a pre-practice evaluation Tuesday.
