The lead up
SDS News: Kirby Smart provides last on injuries and who’s out for the season opener
Georgia coach Kirby Smart updated the status of several injured players during his press conference on Monday.
Smart said that junior defensive back Tyrique McGhee will not play in Saturday’s season opener against Austin Peay. McGhee has a broken bone in his foot, which he sustained during the team’s first scrimmage.
Senior wide receiver Terry Godwin is questionable for the opener. Godwin has a minor left MCL injury that he has been dealing with since the start of spring drills.
Freshman wide receivers Jayson Stanley (quadriceps injury) and Kearis Jackson (hamstring injury) are both more likely to play.
SDS News: Jake Fromm discusses what RB James Cook and WR Demetris Robertson bring to Georgia offense
On Monday, QB Jake Fromm met with the media and said he’s excited to see what Robertson and freshman RB James Cook can do this fall:
“They are really exciting,” he said. “They are really explosive football players. When they get the rock in their hands, they can make it six points real quick. James (Cook) and D-Rob (Demetris Robertson) are great people and are awesome contributions to the team.”
