No. 1 Georgia (10-0) is preparing to face Kentucky (6-4) on Saturday in Lexington, KY.
Coach Kirby Smart addressed the Bulldogs injury situation this week ahead of the SEC East matchup,
Here’s an updated Georgia injury report ahead of the game:
WR AD Mitchell
Injury: Ankle
Status: Questionable
Mitchell sustained an ankle injury Week 2 against Samford and has missed the remaining games other than brief action against Auburn. The sophomore did not travel with the team in Week 11.
Kirby Smart after Monday’s practice: “So it’s been frustrating for him. He wants to get back. He works really hard at it. He was better last week than he’s been every week previous. … So we’re, again, hopeful to get him back this week, but it will be day-by-day.”
Smart confirmed the same report on Tuesday.
DB Javon Bullard
Injury: Leg contusion
Status: Probable
Bullard left the game versus Mississippi State with a lower leg injury.
Kirby Smart after Monday’s practice: “Bullard has a lower leg contusion. It’s like below the knee. I think he’s going to be fine. I think he was limited a little bit yesterday in some of the workout stuff they did. But we fully expect him to be able to play.”
Smart said on Tuesday that Bullard is hopeful.
Edge Nolan Smith
Injury: Pectoral
Status: OUT
The star linebacker suffered a torn pectoral muscle against Florida and will miss the remainder of the season.
DB Dan Jackson
Injury: Foot fracture
Status: Out
Jackson suffered a hairline foot fracture earlier this season and will have surgery. He is likely done for the year.
RB Andrew Paul
Georgia suffered a huge blow Saturday when freshman RB Andrew Paul tore his ACL.
