Georgia Set to Be Without Ladd McConkey

The Georgia Bulldogs appear to be down one of their major starters ahead of their matchup with Georgia Tech

The 2023 version of Good, Old-Fashioned Hate is almost underway, with the No. 1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs playing arguably their best football of the season as they look to finish their third straight season undefeated in the regular season. They are a rather healthy football team to an extent, though it looks like they will be without senior wide receiver Ladd McConkey 

Georgia Football Injury Report- 11/25

• CB Julian Humphrey (Upper Body) - OUT Humphrey has earned a larger role in the Georgia defense prior to suffering an upper-body injury in Georgia's week 11 game against Ole Miss. The sophomore cornerback missed last week's game against Tennessee and appears likely to miss several more weeks of action.
• ILB Jamon Dumas-Johnson (Forearm) - OUT Dumas-Johnson has missed Georgia's last two games against Ole Miss and Tennessee after suffering a fractured forearm in Georgia's week 10 matchup with Missouri. Smart has declined to offer specifics regarding the preseason All-American's progress but did reveal last week that "it's week to week. We're trying to get him back."
• WR Ladd McConkey (Ankle) - DOUBTFUL McConkey, who rolled his ankle against Ole Miss in week 11, attempted to play last week against Tennessee but was limited to only a handful of snaps. When asked about McConkey's progress on Tuesday, Georgia Head Coach Kirby Smart revealed that "Ladd’s still recovering,” and indicated that while the Bulldogs are “trying to get him back," the star wide receiver "hasn’t been able to do much."
• WR Rara Thomas (Foot) - QUESTIONABLE Like McConkey, Thomas attempted to play last week against Tennessee but was unable to finish the game due to what Smart has described as a foot sprain. Throughout the week, Smart was non-committal on Thomas' availability for the Georgia Tech game saying on Tuesday, "We’ve been keeping the weight and pressure off it. Hoping we can get back as well. We’ll see.”
• OL Tate Ratledge (Knee) - QUESTIONABLE Ratledge exited the game against Tennessee a week ago with what Smart described as a "bone bruise" after banging knees with a fellow Georgia lineman. Ratledge was reportedly limping earlier in the week, but Smart indicated that he has improved as the week progresses. His status for the Georgia Tech game, however, remains up in the air.
• DT Warren Brinson (Calf) - PROBABLE Brinson missed the Tennessee game a week ago after suffering a calf injury against Ole Miss the prior week. After Tuesday's practice, Smart offered encouraging news regarding Brinson's availability against Georgia Tech: “Warren took some reps today. I thought he did a good job pushing through."
