Georgia to be Without Adonai Mitchell vs Tennessee

Georgia is expected to be without star wide receiver Adonai Mitchell against the Tennessee Volunteers according to reports.

The Georgia Bulldogs enter their matchup on Saturday against the Tennessee Volunteers as a relatively banged-up football team and according to reports, they will be without star wide receiver, Adonai Mitchell. 

Mitchell has missed the last seven games due to an ankle injury that he suffered on this first catch of the matchup against Samford in Week 2 of the college football season. 

Georgia will continue to look to Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint as their primary X-Receiver in the absence of Mitchell, alongside Ladd McConkey and Dillon Bell as the primary wide receiver weapons for Stetson Bennett and this Georgia offense. 

Georgia is a 9.0 point favorite in the football game despite the absence of their No. 1 wide receiver. Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said Mitchell is "One of, if no the best receivers in college football."
