Georgia football's injuries have been stacking up in recent weeks, and the running back room has been hit the hardest by far. Both Branson Robinson and Roderick Robinson have been out for a long time, and Trevor Etienne joined them more recently as well. Even wide receiver Dillon Bell was hurt while helping fill in at running back.

This disaster has really impacted Georgia's offense, but thankfully freshman Nate Frazier has been up to the task recently in their absence. But it goes without saying that Georgia can't rely solely on Frazier forever, so they need to get as much help back as soon as possible.

Thankfully that appears to be the case on Georgia's latest injury report ahead of their matchup with in-state rival Georgia Tech on Friday night.

Quickly you can see that both Branson Robinson and Roderick Robinson are both listed as questionable, which is the first time either has been listed as anything other than out for quite some time.

On top of that, Etienne has been upgraded from out to doubtful. Sure this likely means that he will not play against Georgia Tech, but it does show that he is progressing and could be back for the SEC Championship game next week.

So even though there is no guarantee that even one of these three players will play against Georgia Tech, it appears that all three are getting very close to a return. And that is exactly what Georgia needs if they are going to win an SEC Championship next weekend and make a deep run in the College Football Playoff.

So let's hope at least one player makes their return Friday night against Georgia Tech, that way they can start building their confidence back up right before postseason play begins.
