Update on potentially disastrous Nate Frazier injury is good news for the Bulldogs

Kirby Smart shares new update on Nate Frazier's injury

One of the first things Kirby Smart spoke about after the game was the injury to Nate Frazier. Thankfully it sounds like he will be good to go next week against Oklahoma because Smart said he could've returned if he needed to.

Frazier may see a slightly decreased role throughout practice this week to ensure he remains healthy, but as it stands today there isn't much of a concern about his status heading into the first big game of the season against Oklahoma.

Nate Frazier suffers lower leg injury against Arkansas

Georgia is rolling Arkansas as they've had complete control of the game all afternoon. Unfortunately a few injuries have occurred throughout the game and starting running back Nate Frazier was the latest to go down with an injury.

During the Bulldogs first drive of the second half he appeared get up slow after a tackle. He came off the field for a few plays before coming back in the game, but he was tackled on the second to last play of the drive and got up slow again. Frazier was seen on TV limping to the sideline and it sounds like this injury could keep him out for the rest of the game.

Frazier entered the injury tent after coming out of the game. He however was seen sprinting on the sideline moments later after coming out of the tent.

That is a good sign, but soon after he was captured heading to the locker room. Frazier is walking on his power, but he still has a noticeable limp.

Frazier more than likely won't play another snap the rest of the game. Even if he was deemed healthy enough to play it isn't worth risking further injury when the game is already won.

Frazier will finish his day with 75 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. This kept his hot start to the season in tact as he was extremely efficient through the first two games of the season, but his status going forward is up in the air after this injury.

Georgia has plenty of depth behind Frazier to sustain this injury today. Chauncey Bowens will get a few more touches as will Dwight Phillips, but no one should worry about Georgia today. What is worrisome is how Georgia will get on without Frazier if he were to miss a future game.

Georgia's schedule gets a lot more challenging after today with a home game against Oklahoma coming up next week. That will be the first game of the season Georgia could realistically lose, and not having Frazier could be tough to overcome.

It's worth noting that transfer wide receiver Isiah Canion also went down with an injury against Arkansas as well. He was hurt during the first half and never returned to the game, but Smart also said he culd've returned as well if they needed him.
