Georgia football initial injury report released

Georgia football’s showdown against No. 1 Texas is quickly approaching, and as Saturday nears I find myself getting more and more nervous. Can Georgia knock the Longhorns off? Can UGA announce to the country that they are legit national title contenders?

Both of these questions and more will be answered in just a few short days. But while we wait for Saturday to get here, there are some important details about the game that we need to find out.

And one of those things is Georgia’s injury report, which Kirby Smart just released late on Wednesday.

Two of the biggest updates seen in this injury report are Jordan Hall and Jared Wilson being upgraded to probable. Both were listed as questionable last week before the Mississippi State game, so seeing both being upgraded to probable is huge ahead of the biggest game of the year for Georgia.

On a similar note, right guard Tate Ratledge has been upgraded as well from out to questionable. There’s no denying how important getting Ratledge back for this game is, so if he’s even remotely close to being healthy enough to play then I’m sure Smart will give him the green light to do so.

You will also see that the running back room, and specifically their depth, is a massive concern for Georgia. Having two guys out in a room that is as small as running back rooms are is not a good sign. The Bulldogs still have enough depth at the position for now, but one more injury would spell very bad news for the Georgia offense.

Georgia and Texas will be the highlight of Saturday’s slate of games as they have the primetime ABC slot. Kickoff is set for 7:30 pm EST with coverage beginning at 9:00 am on College GameDay.

So hopefully all of these players on the injury report continue to progress as the week goes on, that way UGA will have the best chance possible to pull off the upset against the Longhorns.
