Jordan Hall injury update: Bulldogs make final decision on status of DL vs. Mississippi State

A huge matchup looms large in the SEC, as both Bulldogs of the conference will face off in Week 7 when Mississippi State and Georgia meet in Athens.

The matchup heavily favors the home team, as Mississippi State still looks to secure their first win in SEC play under new head coach Jeff Lebby, but nothing is off the table this season, as various results have proven.

With that in mind, injuries and the health of teams in every matchup will be vital. Depth will be tested on Saturday and beyond in the conference, while it’s regarded as the most competitive league across college football.

Both teams will be missing some key contributors when kickoff starts at 4:15 p.m. ET in Sanford Stadium, while others are still on the fence to take the field. One of those players, Georgia defensive lineman Jordan Hall, will be active for Saturday’s game. Check out the status of each team’s injured players below in the final injury report.

Alas, a multitude of Mississippi State players being out surely does not help their chances this Saturday. Headlined by the Bulldogs losing starting quarterback Blake Shapen to a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 4 against Florida. 

But Lebby still believes that his team’s most recent bye week puts them in a better position to succeed this weekend than they would have been before.

“Yeah, we needed it. There’s no question about it, from a health standpoint,” Lebby said. “Again, just being able to refocus, recalibrate and get our guys a little bit of a break that they needed and get us back in this building with just great energy and being incredibly thankful for our opportunity and grateful for what we’ve got ahead of us.”
