No. 1 Georgia (11-0) returns home on Saturday to take on Georgia Tech (5-6) in the newest edition of ‘Clean Old Fashioned Hate’.
The Bulldogs are looking to cap off their second undefeated regular season in-a-row, while the Yellow Jackets fight for a bowl bid.
Here is an updated Georgia injury report ahead of the game:
AD Mitchell
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.”
OG Tate Ratledge
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
Injury: Pectoral
Status: OUT
The star linebacker suffered a torn pectoral muscle versus Florida and will miss the remainder of the season.
DB Dan Jackson
Injury: Foot fracture
Status: Out
Jackson suffered a hairline foot fracture midseason that required surgery and will be out indefinitely.
RB Andrew Paul
Georgia suffered a huge blow Saturday when freshman RB Andrew Paul tore his ACL.
