In this story:

The Georgia Bulldogs overcame a two-score deficit on the way to an impressive comeback win Saturday over South Carolina, but it looks like that game will cost them one of their best players for the foreseeable future.

Offensive tackle Amarius Mims could miss four to six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair an ankle injury, per ESPN's Matt Miller.

One of the top offensive tackle prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft class, Mims is a massive mauler who helps anchor the Bulldogs' dominant unit in the offensive trenches. 

Hopefully, he's able to return to full strength sooner than later, as the Bulldogs look for a third straight national title, and Mims looks to remain among the top prospects at his position looking ahead to next year's draft.
