Kendall Milton’s father offers update on injured Georgia running back

Georgia running back Kendall Milton hobbled off the field in the third quarter of Saturday’s game with Florida. Milton was tackled awkwardly and appeared to injure his left leg.

It happened on a first down and 15 play at the Gators’ 39-yard line with less than two minutes to go in the third quarter. Milton ran the ball for 17 yards, and Florida’s Shawn Davis came in as another Florida defender surrounded Milton.

With his arms around two trainers, Milton was helped off the field to the sideline.

Milton’s father offered an update about his son’s status during the game.

Thanks for the early prayers. He’ll be good…

Milton had two carries for 18 yards before he suffered the injury. Milton came into the game with 29 carries for 165 yards rushing this season.

Here is a video of the injury:

Kendall Milton of Georgia appears to have a sprained MCL on this play. You can see the trainer doing a Lachman which shows the ACL in tact. Then he does some valgus stressing which appears to cause pain. #GEORGIA @TheFantasyDRS pic.twitter.com/a8EQh3hVST
