Georgia is battling a few injuries in the backfield. Georgia has a deep running backs room, but several Bulldog running backs have already missed significant action this season.

Senior running back Kendall Milton received carries for the first time since the South Carolina game against Kentucky. Milton totaled eight carries for 47 yards and scored one touchdown in Georgia’s 51-13 win over the Wildcats.

Georgia is already missing sophomore running back Branson Robinson for the season in 2023. Robinson suffered a knee injury in preseason practice.

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart notes that Roderick Robinson is doubtful for the Vanderbilt game, but is nearing a return.

He is getting closer. Dry land running, weight bearing, running, but doubtful for this game. He is closer. He’s out there running around, but he’s not practicing with us.

Robinson has 15 carries for 89 rushing yards and two touchdowns this season. The freshman’s progress is a good sign that he will be healthy and good to go for the Florida game on Oct. 28 after Georgia’s bye week.
