Georgia football's offensive line was finally healthy again. After battling multiple injuries all season Georgia's offensive line finally got back to full health beginning with their matchup against Florida last week.

Unfortunately yet another injury was suffered by an offensive lineman on Saturday during Georgia's win over Mississippi State as starting center Drew Bobo suffered a hand injury.

Kirby Smart was asked about this injury during his postgame press conference, and he provided a key update on his health going forward for the rest of the season.

"He's (Bobo) got a laceration of some kind on his snapping hand. It was a cut open, and they were going to have to pad it, but he couldn't snap if he padded it," Smart said via 247sports.com. "They were going to have to suture it, and I don't think they got it sutured in time to get him back."

Smart detailed in the above quote that Bobo's injury is not a concern for Georgia moving forward. According to Smart, Bobo suffered a laceration to his snapping hand which he obviously was unable to play though until it got addressed. Unfortunately it wasn't able to get fixed in time to take the field again, but Georgia was in a place where they didn't need Bobo to beat Mississippi State anyways.

But the fact that he could have gone back in the game is a good sign going forward. Bobo likely won't miss Georgia's upcoming game against Texas this weekend, and that is a big deal because UGA needs to be at their best if they are going to beat the Longhorns.

So it looks like Georgia survived this injury scare meaning their starting offensive line should all be able to start together once again against the Longhorns this weekend.
