Kirby Smart Updates Georgia's Injury Report Ahead of the Season Opener

The season opener against Oregon is near. Georgia head coach Kirby Smart spoke with the media for his weekly pre-game press conference and he updated the injury report.

Five days away from the season opener against Oregon, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart spoke with the media for his weekly pre-game press conference. 

Among many topics spoken about during Monday's first presser of the new season, Smart gave an updated report on how Georgia's roster is faring after fall camp. Injuries were a big topic this time last year, as the Bulldogs suffered injuries to several key contributors before the season even kicked off.

This season so far looks to be different as Georgia comes out of fall camp with a relatively healthy football team.
