Kirby Smart provides latest on Javon Bullard injury
The Georgia Bulldogs starting safety, Javon Bullard, has been out since re-aggravating an ankle injury in Week 2. Since then, their coach Kirby Smart, and the Bulldogs coaching staff have been doing everything in their power to get him to return to the field healthy and ready to go.
As Georgia prepares for their coming matchup against UAB, Smart took a moment to provide an update on his starting safety and where he’s at on his road to recovery.
“Yeah, he hasn’t done too much. He warmed up, hit the field great in warm ups; (I) shut him down and hasn’t done much this week in terms of being at practice,” said Smart. I asked him today, and he’s underwater running, (and) got a boot on, but he has not been going in practice.”
Smart also provides injury update on Roderick Robinson, Kendall Milton
Georgia has also been banged up at running back so far this season, and coach Kirby Smart provided an injury update on the position following practice on Tuesday evening.
According to Smart, at least Roderick Robinson is looking doubtful to play due to an ankle injury, while Kendall Milton continues nursing a knee injury. Neither practiced Tuesday.

“It’s looking doubtful that Roderick will be able to play this week,” Smart said, via Seth Emerson of The Athletic. “I’m still holding out hope that Kendall might be able to.”
The duo represents two of the top three rushers on the team through the first two games.
Milton has accounted for 96 yards and a touchdown, while Robinson has logged 89 yards and two scores.
Over time, Milton has proven to be quite a valuable body to have in the backfield. In his four-year Georgia career he has tallied 199 carries for 1,145 yards and 10 touchdowns, while also adding 10 catches for 100 yards and a touchdown.
Robinson is more of a newcomer in the backfield.
The talented true freshman was ranked as a high four-star prospect, checking in at No. 152 overall in his class in 2023. He was ranked as the No. 10 running back in the class and the No. 11 overall player from the state of California, hailing from San Diego (Calif.) Lincoln.
