Published:
Georgia running back Sony Michel is “out indefinitely” in the SEC Championship Game, according to multiple reports.
Michel is reportedly dealing with a left knee injury.
Athletic trainers put a brace on Michel’s knee, according to ESPN’s Olivia Harlan, but he apparently came out of the injury tent and took it off.
Georgia was leading Auburn 13-7 at the end of the third quarter. This post was published going into the fourth quarter, which is when Harlan reported Michel was “out for now.”
CBS Sports sideline reporter Allie LaForce had a similar report.
Here’s what Harlan posted on Twitter:
