Carson Beck injury update: Latest on Georgia QB

Georgia quarterback Carson Beck injured his UCL in his right elbow in Saturday’s SEC championship game against Texas, multiple sources tell On3. Sources also tell On3 that the redshirt senior is now having second opinions done.

Beck missed the second half of SEC title game with his arm injury. Georgia now has to turnaround and play the winner of Notre Dame and Indiana in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1. There is no clear timetable at this time for a return.

A UCL elbow injury is a tear or damage to the ligament on the inner side of the elbow that connects the upper arm to the forearm.

“I’m still trying to get that knowledge myself,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said on Sunday afternoon. “He did get to have an MRI this morning. We should get the results here in the next few hours. We just had a team meeting. He was there for the team meeting, but we don’t know much more than we knew last night as of right now, but we should be finding out something here soon.”

Beck re-entered the SEC title game for the game’s final play after backup Gunner Stockton took a big hit, handing the ball off to Trevor Etienne for the walk-off touchdown in overtime. Sources said Beck talked about not having a good grip on the ball after the game.

Stockton started the second half and went 12 for 16 for 71 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Beck has thrown for 3,485 yards this season, as Georgia holds the No. 2 seed in the College Football Playoff. The Bulldogs are 11-2 on the season, capturing their second SEC title since 2020.

 “Tough deal for him in terms of not being able to go out there and finish in the second half,”He’s also excited for his teammates and happy that it ended the way it did and ironically he got to be on the field for that.”
