Georgia Bulldogs defensive lineman Christen Miller left in the first half of Georgia’s 59-21 win over the UMass Minutemen with a right shoulder injury.
Georgia coach Kirby Smart confirmed Miller suffered a dislocated shoulder. Smart noted that Miller’s shoulder was popped back into place.
“Something with his shoulder, I’m not real sure exactly what. I don’t know, I think they put it back in, it dislocated, and they put it back in, but I’m not sure,” said Smart after Georgia’s win.
The 6-foot-4, 305-pound sophomore defensive lineman is a key part of Georgia’s defensive rotation up front. Miller has 21 total tackles and 1 1/2 sacks this season.
Miller will have a short week to try to get ready for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets game on Friday, Nov. 29.
If Miller is unable to play against Georgia Tech, defensive linemen Jordan Hall, Warren Brinson, Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins and Xzavier McLeod to play more snaps.
Georgia’s run defense struggled against UMass. The Bulldogs allowed 226 rushing yards in an unsteady performance.
