Nearly 4 weeks after pulling a hamstring during a scrimmage, Georgia running back Caleb King is ready to return to the playing field, head coach Mark Richt announced on his weekly radio show.
King started summer camp atop the Bulldogs' depth chart, but his injury combined with the strong scrimmage and practice performances of Richard Samuel pushed the touted runner to the backburner.
Now, though, Richt is eagerly anticipating King's return after an OK first-start performance from Samuel, 20 carries, 89 yards in the loss to Oklahoma State.
"I think it will be a tremendous blessing for us to get Caleb back and help Richard with the amount of volume he's getting," Richt said on his weekly radio call-in show. "He had 20 carries. I don't know if that was too much or not."
Richt added that King has "looked good" and that the coaching staff will not have any "limitations on him in practice, other than if you give him too many reps, sometimes they'll fatigue, and when you fatigue is when you might re-pull an injury like that." The SEC Rocks!
