Georgia is just a few days away from their matchup with Florida. The Bulldogs have had a few key injuries that have significantly impacted their program this season, but with the last week off the hope was that they would find a way to get healthy again before the final stretch of their season.

Thankfully that is exactly what happened as the official injury report released Wednesday night was the best report Georgia has released all season.

Georgia receives great news from initial injury report vs Florida

The first thing that stands out from this report is that no offensive linemen are listed. Malachi Toliver was the most recent Bulldog offensive lineman to miss some time, but he is officially healthy and is ready to go against Florida. Earnest Greene and Juan Gaston have also been listed on Georgia's injury report the last few weeks, but they are 100 percent healthy as well.

This is the first time all season that Georiga's offensive line has been this healthy, and it has come at the perfect time.

Wide receiver Thomas Blackshear is also healthy again after missing multiple games this season. This comes at a great time because he can help replace what will be lost now that Colbie Young will be out for a significant amount of time.

Last but not least is true freshman wide receiver Talyn Taylor. He is already ruled out for Saturday's game, but Smart did provide an encouraging update on his status that indicates he should be back on the field soon.

"He's back running, conditioning, moving around. He's been in walk-throughs," Smart said via 247Sports.com. "He's been great mentally. He's paying attention to all the stuff. I love seeing him in the meetings and seeing his energy out there at practice."

Georgia is favored to beat Florida by 7.5 points, but there is a good argument for why that should shift in UGA's favor even more after this injury report. Regardless, Georgia is in a great spot to beat Florida for the fifith year in a row thanks to the best injury report they have released all season.
