Let’s run through an update on Georgia Bulldogs across the NFL.
Former Georgia Bulldog pass catchers Lawrence Cager and Javon Wims both made big plays in the second week of the NFL preseason. Roquan Smith has ended his holdout with the Bears.
Las Vegas Raiders rookie Zamir White is expected to have a fairly large role in 2022. The Raiders just released veteran NFL running back Kenyan Drake.
Here are some of the best plays from Dawgs in the NFL during preseason week two:
Cager racks up yards after the catch
Lawrence Cager helped the Jets move the ball down the field in the third quarter against the Atlanta Falcons. Cager is battling players like Trevon Wesco and Kenny Yeboah for a roster spot.
Chris Streveler avoids the rush and gets it to Lawrence Cager. @nyjets on the move.

Cager finished the game with three receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown.

Roquan Smith returns to Bears
Chicago Bears linebacker Roquan Smith, who played at Georgia from 2015-2017, has ended his holdout. Smith is entering the final year of his contract, but has not been able to reach an extension with the Bears. Smith requested a trade earlier this offseason.
#Bears star LB Roquan Smith, who returned to practice for the first time after an emotional and intense contract situation, now plans to play out his contract, I’m told. His deal runs through 2022.
He’ll be full go moving forward.
