7:00 p.m. ET update: Defensive back Javon Bullard is not dressed out. Neither is defensive end Mykel Williams.
Kendall Milton is not dressed out. Freshman running back Roderick Robinson has a boot on his left foot.
Austin Blaske is back warming up for Georgia, a good sign for the offensive line. Blaske has missed the last two games with an MCL injury.
Of note, Lawson Luckie was going through pregame warmups. The freshman tight end has not played so far this season as he had ankle surgery in August. That provides a boost to the Georgia tight end room, which will be without Pearce Spurlin again this week.
Defenders Chris Peal and Marvin Jones Jr. were both dressed out on Saturday. Peal has missed the last three games with a toe injury, while Jones sat out the South Carolina game with an illness.
4:30 p.m. ET update: Injures figure to be a big story for the Bulldogs today.
Georgia will be without several key contributors, including wide receiver Ladd McConkey and offensive tackle Amarius Mims. Starting defensive back Javon Bullard is also not expected to play for Georgia on Saturday as he is still dealing with an ankle injury he suffered against Ball State.
“We have the longest injury list we’ve ever had since being here, so it continues to grow,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. “And I think that’s a trend across college football. You very rarely hear me talk about our guys being injured or, you know, woe is me. I don’t think it’s something that you can control. We practice how we practice, and for a couple of years we’ve been really fortunate to not have very many injuries. And I always hear about other teams.
“This year it seems to be the theme across. I know Shane (Beamer) had a lot at South Carolina. I know there’s a lot of them in SEC opponents, but we certainly have more than we’ve ever had. So that becomes a hurdle we’ve got to do a good job of overcoming that, and we’ve got to be very resourceful as coaches in how we use the players we do have.”
With Mims out at right tackle, Georgia is likely to play Xavier Truss at right tackle and Dylan Fairchild at left guard. Austin Blaske is a possible option but he is battling an MCL injury that has kept him out for the past two games.
In the secondary, expected David Daniel-Sisavanh and Dan Jackson to both play in place of Bullard. Jackson came down with an interception last week against South Carolina.
At wide receiver, Georgia will lean on Dominic Lovett and Mekhi Mews to give them what McConkey would.
Georgia may also be thin at the running back position, as Roderick Robinson is not expected to play with an ankle injury and Kendall Milton is dealing with an MCL injury.
