Injury: Ankle

Status: Questionable 

Mitchell sustained an ankle injury Week 2 against Samford and has missed the remaining games besides brief action versus Auburn.

Kirby Smart after practice on Tuesday: “…He’s practiced some. He’s been out there to take some reps and things. He took a few today, I wouldn’t say that he’s 100%, I wouldn’t even day that he’s close to playing, but he’s done more this week than he has any other week. He’s closer than he’s ever been, so I’m hopeful.”

Injury: Shoulder 

Status: Questionable 

Although Ratledge hasn’t missed practice time, the junior battled a shoulder injury last week that kept him out of the matchup at Kentucky.

Kirby Smart after practice on Tuesday: “Tate’s practiced everyday, but Tate practiced last week every day. It’s going to be a matter of how much he can play.”

EDGE Nolan Smith

Status: Out

RB Andrew Paul

Injury: Knee (ACL)

Status: Out

Injury: Neck

Status: Out 

The true freshman suffered a neck injury in spring practice. Washington is working his way back, but a timetable for his return has not been disclosed.
