Kirby Smart addresses Georgia’s injury situation after Clemson game

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart addressed the Bulldogs’ injury situation after the Clemson game.

Georgia All-SEC linebacker Mykel Williams left the game in the second half.

“Was an ankle,” Smart said. “And Mykel’s X-rays, they looked good, but I’ve seen that before, so we’ve got to go check it when we get home and see.”

Williams would be a significant loss for Georgia if he is forced to miss any time. He is projected to be a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft and is arguably Georgia’s top pass rusher.

Georgia defensive lineman Warren Brinson entered the game with an Achilles issue. Brinson left the game early in the first half with a leg injury and did not return.

“Warren’s (Brinson) was more of a contusion of some kind. I don’t want to say high ankle, but it was above the ankle,” noted Smart. “It was more calf, in there where he got stepped on he felt like.”

Georgia was without No. 1 running back Trevor Etienne (suspension following driving under the influence arrest) and No. 2 running back Roderick Robinson (toe surgery).

“You know we don’t talk about those things,” said Smart regarding the potential of Trevor Etienne being suspended for the Tennessee Tech game next week.

Robinson was not putting any weight on his injured leg and is expected to miss more time. Georgia freshman running back Nate Frazier stepped up big time for the Bulldogs.

Georgia wide receiver Dillon Bell exited the game and did not return. His absence allowed London Humphreys to play more snaps.

“Dillon (Bell) had gone down with some cramping,” Smart said.

Bell should be available for Georgia’s game next week.
