Kirby Smart provides 5 injury updates
Smart spoke with the media for the first time this week on Tuesday, and one of the items he discussed were some key injuries the Bulldogs sustained during their week one win against Marshall. Smart even had some positive updates for two Bulldogs who were injured prior to this game as well.
Offensvie linemen Juan Gaston and Earnest Greene both suffered minor injuries against Marshall, but Smart said he is hopeful that they both will be back this week. He also shared that punter Brett Thorson is extremely close to making his return as well and is just waiting for final confirmation from the training staff that he is good to go.
Then there is starting corner Daylen Everette who sustained an injury last week during practice. Smart shared that his ankle injury is doing well and that he is able to run around and do some things, but he did not share when he could return again.
Last but not least is running back Roderick Robinson who is dealing with a minor hamstring injury. He did not play against Marshall because of this injury, but Smart said they kept him out just to be safe, so it sounds like Robinson is healthy and ready to play this weekend.
