Georgia football enters their game against Kentucky as massive favorites. As of Saturday morning, the Bulldogs are favored by 19.5 points over the Wildcats.

While that should make Georgia fans very confident entering this matchup, there is one reason why UGA fans should be a little concerned. And it all has to do with the growing number of players on the Bulldogs' injury report.

Georgia lists 5 players out vs. Kentucky

Georgia only has five players listed on their final injury report against Kentucky. Only having five players listed is actually really good, especially when compared to the 11 players Kentucky has on their injury report. But the fact that all five Bulldogs are ruled out is very concerning.

Ethan Barbour, Malachi Toliver and Thomas Blackshear have all been out for at least a few weeks now, so it wasn't surprising to see them ruled out. But Earnest Greene and Talyn Taylor are newer additions to Georgia's injury report.

Greene missed last week's game against Alabama as well, but the hope was that he would finally be healthy again for the Kentucky game. It however appears he may still have a long road to recovery because he was ruled out at the start of this week.

True freshman wide receiver Talyn Taylor is the newest addition to Georgia's injury report as he was added Thursday evening. He reportedly suffered an upper-body injury that will require surgery, so he will be out for a few weeks as well.

Georgia isn't in a place where they need to panic yet, but the growing number of Bulldogs showing up on UGA's injury report is getting scary. All it will take is one key injury for Georgia for them to be in big trouble, but hopefully that does not occur against Kentucky on Saturday.
