4:30 p.m. ET -- All eyes will be on the status of star edge rusher Mykel Williams. He missed Georgia’s last two games with a left ankle injury he picked up in the win over Clemson.
Williams was able to practice in a limited capacity this week. When head coach Kirby Smart spoke to reporters on Tuesday he was unsure what a timeline looks like for Williams.
“He’s looked good running and taking some reps, some light reps, some rush reps, some stuff he did today,” Smart said. “It’s his first day really getting out there and doing some things.”
On Friday, ESPN’s Holly Rowe reported that Williams was likely to play in the game, while ESPN’s Pete Thamel said on Saturday that Williams will be a game-time decision.
Georgia is expected to get defensive tackle Warren Brinson back, as he has been able to practice throughout the week. He has missed the last two games.
The Bulldogs downgraded Sacovie White to out on Friday night. Georgia will release a final availability report 90 minutes prior to kickoff.
