Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart has provided the latest injury updates as his team gears up for their final home game of the regular season against in-state rival Georgia Tech.
Following a commanding victory over UMass and clinching a spot in the SEC Championship game, the Bulldogs face their annual clash with the Yellow Jackets this Friday—a rare deviation from its traditional Saturday scheduling. With key players battling injuries, the team’s preparation has taken a cautious but optimistic tone.
Key Injury Updates from Kirby Smart:
Christen Miller (Shoulder): Miller remains uncertain for the upcoming game after suffering a shoulder injury against UMass. Smart noted, “He’s banged up… didn’t do much yesterday. We’ll see what he can do today.”
Trevor Etienne: Smart expressed hope for Etienne’s return, saying, “Hopeful to get him back.”
Anthony Evans & Dillon Bell: Both players participated in practice in limited capacities, with Smart remaining “hopeful” they’ll be available.
Branson Robinson & Roderick Robinson: Encouraging news for the Bulldogs’ running back corps, as both players have been steadily improving. Smart shared, “They’ve looked good in recent weeks, hitting good speeds. We’re excited about ramping them up this week.”
Roderick Robinson: Still dealing with turf toe but showing progress.
Micah Morris: Listed with a lower-body injury, his status remains unclear.
As Georgia prepares for the SEC Championship and a potential College Football Playoff berth, staying healthy will be critical. For now, all eyes are on Sanford Stadium as the Bulldogs aim to finish their regular season strong against Georgia Tech.
