Georgia Bulldog's Injury updates: Will Branden Smith, Caleb King, others play Saturday?

Here’s the latest injury report from coach Mark Richt:

  • Smith: "He right now is not ready to practice today. We think before the week is over he will have a chance. He did have a concussion. He is getting better. There’s a way that [director of sports medicine] Ron Courson tests all our guys before they get back on the field [after concussions], and [Smith is] going through that process. Between now and the time we practice, there is an outside chance he can do something today. But as of right this second he is not cleared to practice."
  • King: "I just can’t imagine Caleb not practicing full speed this week. Even watching him yesterday, he looked fine. He’s got his ankle taped up, but he looked fine."
  • Chapas: "He is trying to get back. He did not practice yesterday; he was running, kind of a walk-run, around the field, no change of direction or anything like that. He’s questionable. We think he still has a chance to play Saturday."
  • Davis: "I don’t think Chris will practice today, but we hope he’ll practice tomorrow. He may go today in a little bit of scout work. We’re not going to let him in any of the more competitive drills." Inside linebacker Marcus Dowtin: "His strength has come back really good. He has a stinger that was keeping him out. He practiced yesterday. He ran well. He’ll practice today probably in a green non-contact jersey"”
