True freshman and former five-star linebacker, Raylen Wilson, is dealing with a knee injury after hyperextending his knee during the scrimmage in Sanford Stadium.

We learned wide receiver De’Nylon Morrissette is not practicing with the team. The sophomore was arrested in May and charged with driving too fast for conditions, following too closely and DUI of drugs.

Smart said Morrissette is scheduled to join the Bulldogs when UGA classes begin on Wednesday.

Here is the full injury report, including quotes from Smart:

 

 

WR De’Nylon Morrissette

Status: Undisclosed

Smart: “I don’t know what y’all call it. De’Nylon’s gonna join us when the school starts, and that’s Wednesday,” Smart said. “He’s been part of the team. He’s been with us, he’s just not practicing. He’s allowed to go to administrative programming. He’s allowed to go to a lot of programming we’ve got in place for him and the whole team.”

Smart: “Yeah Raylen had a hyperextended knee,” Smart said. “As of right now, I would reserve judgement until we know for sure, but the ligaments are intact and hopefully he’ll be fine.”

Status: Out

Smart: “Branson goes in individuals. That’s what you’re seeing in the assumption he’s back. But he is not cleared to go yet. He’s on track to get back earlier than we originally thought, but he’s not back yet.”

 

CB Kamari Lassiter (foot)

Smart: “Kamari is dying to get back, but Kamari needs work. He started for one year, and he got to knock the rust and go out there and play, too.”

LB Smael Mondon (foot)

Status: Out

Smart: “Smael’s been great, man. He works really hard every day. When you’re dealing with that kind of injury, it’s a very sensitive injury. It’s one of those deals that we have to be patient with.”

DT Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins (foot)

Smart:“Ty is much closer.”

CB Chris Peal (turf toe)

Status: Out

Smart: “Chris Peal’s got a turf toe that he’s been battling, trying his best to get back from. He’s not back yet.”

CB Julian Humphrey (illness)

Smart: “Julian was a little under the weather, he was sick and cramping a little bit, so he played, but he had less reps …”

DB Dan Jackson (hamstring)

Status: Available

Smart: “Dan’s still been injured. He had a hamstring pull early in camp, like the first day and he’s been trying to battle back from that. He scrimmaged today but couldn’t go as much as he’d like to.”

OT Austin Blaske (illness)

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

Status: Available

Smart: “Blaske has been battling some illness, some sickness, he got a little bit sick and there was one or two days he didn’t get to practice. When he’s been there he’s done really well, he’s been really competitive. I think the heat has been tough on him, he’s a fighter, he’s one of the toughest kids I’ve been around.”

 

WR Rara Thomas (hamstring)

Syndication: Online Athens

Status: Available

Smart: “Rara did everything today. He was good. He had a hamstring spasm, not a pull. The practice you were at, he practiced, he just didn’t start with his position. He’s practiced each day, hasn’t missed a day, but he’s been held out of portions.”
