Georgia's offense has turned into one of the best units in the country during the second half of the season. A lot of that has to do with the play from Gunner Stockton and his wide receivers in the passing game which on it's own is pretty remarkable since they have been missing star receiver Colbie Young since mid-October.

Young has been sidelined since the Ole Miss game on Oct. 18 with a leg fracture. At the time he was one of Georgia's leading receivers, so no one knew what would happen to the offense after his injury. Georgia however did the unthinkable and became an elite group even without Young.

But what happens if Young returns from his injury? Could Georgia's offense get even better if he was able to play in the College Football Playoff? Many believed his season might be over, but intel coming out of Georgia's most recent practice shows that he might be ready to make his return against Ole Miss.

It is worth mentioning that Young has not been officially cleared to play against Ole Miss. However, at Georgia's practice on Saturday it looks like he is more than ready to make his return.

The fact that he was dressed and going through the entire practice is reason enough to believe that he will make his return in the CFP, but not only did he practice he was playing really well. He even had one play where he rose above a defender and caught a jump ball. So if that doesn't mean he will be back against Ole Miss then who knows what will.

Georgia's first CFP injury report will let fans know if Young is officially back or not, but at this point it is looking like one of the best offenses in the country will be getting back one of their top wide receivers just in time for the playoff.
