Tate Ratledge Suffers Injury Against Tennessee

The Georgia Bulldogs have suffered their first injury of the game. Here is what we know.

The No. 1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs are in Knoxville, Tennessee to take on the No. 18 ranked Tennessee Volunteers. The Bulldogs entered the matchup relatively healthy, or at least healthier than they'd been previously without future NFL Draft Pick Brock Bowers and Amarius Mims who returned to action vs Ole Miss a week ago. 

The Bulldogs have suffered their first injury of the afternoon, however. Guard Tate Ratledge appears to have injured his left knee with just minutes left in the first quarter. He was helped off the field and taken to the Georgia medical tent. 

We will continue to provide updates as the story unfolds. 

Georgia Football Injury Report- 11/17

• CB Julian Humphrey (Upper Body) - DOUBTFUL Humphrey had begun to earn more reps in the Georgia defense prior to suffering an upper-body injury in last week's game against Ole Miss. The sophomore left the Ole Miss game in the first half and did not return. While Georgia Head Coach Kirby Smart was non-committal regarding the nature of Humphrey's injury, he remains doubtful to play Saturday against Tennessee.
• ILB Jamon Dumas-Johnson (Forearm) - DOUBTFUL Dumas-Johnson missed Georgia's win over Ole Miss after suffering a fractured forearm the prior in the game against Missouri. Smart declined to offer specifics regarding the preseason All-American's progress but did reveal that "it's week to week. We're trying to get him back."
• TE Brock Bowers (Ankle) - IN Bowers was forced to miss Georgia's wins over Florida and Missouri after suffering a high ankle sprain in the Bulldogs' game against Vanderbilt on Oct. 14, but the two-time All-American made his return last week against Ole Miss, playing extensively against the Rebels. Smart indicated that Bowers was dealing with some soreness in the aftermath of last week's game, but he is expected to once again suit up and take the field this weekend in Knoxville.
• WR Ladd McConkey (Ankle) - IN McConkey, who missed Georgia's first four games of the season with a lingering back injury, left Saturday's game against Ole Miss and did not return. However, he was made available for post-game interviews and indicated that he simply rolled his ankle and will be available to play against Tennessee. Smart also indicated after the Ole Miss game that McConkey could have returned to the game if needed.
