Georgia head coach Kirby Smart provided crucial updates on the Bulldogs’ injury report as they prepare to face Tennessee Tech. Several players are dealing with injuries, which could impact the team’s lineup.
- Warren Brinson (Lower Leg): Brinson, who left the Clemson game after his leg was stepped on, is dealing with a lower leg injury. Smart is hopeful for his return but noted that his availability remains uncertain.
- Mykel Williams (Ankle): Williams suffered a grade 2 ankle sprain following an illegal chop block in the Clemson game. He is currently listed as week-to-week and is questionable for the upcoming game.
- Joenel Aguero (Undisclosed): Aguero missed the Clemson game, and while Smart suggested he might have been available in an emergency, his status for the Tennessee Tech game remains unclear.
- Trevor Etienne (Suspension): Etienne was suspended for the season opener due to a violation of University policy. Smart did not provide any updates on his status for the next game.
- Xzavier McLeod (Undisclosed): McLeod also missed the Clemson game due to an undisclosed injury, with no further details provided on his condition.
- Roderick Robinson (Toe): Robinson is sidelined with a toe injury and is ruled out for the Tennessee Tech game.
- Jordan Hall (Leg): Hall, who missed the Clemson game with a leg injury, is also out for the upcoming matchup.
- Chris Peal (Shoulder): Peal is dealing with a shoulder injury and will not be available for the Tennessee Tech game.
- Marcus Harrison (Back): Harrison is out with a back injury and will miss the game against Tennessee Tech.
These injuries could lead to significant lineup adjustments, particularly on the defensive line, where Georgia may need to rely more heavily on younger players. The team will need to navigate these challenges as they aim to continue their strong start to the season.
