Georgia football injury report for LSU in SEC Championship
We’re a little over 24 hours away from the 2022 SEC Championship game. No. 1 Georgia will take on No. 14 LSU inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium with a chance to go 13-0 for the first time in school history.
The Bulldogs are battling some injuries coming into this game. It’s pretty cut and dry on that front this week but there’s still a reasonable chance the offense gets a key weapon back this week.
Out…
RB Andrew Paul (knee): The late addition to a No. 3-ranked 2022 haul for Georgia was pushing for a spot in the rotation before suffering a torn ACL in the second and final preseason scrimmage. Paul had surgery to repair that injury and will miss the entire 2022 season.
ILB C.J. Washington (neck): We don’t know when Washington might make a return to the football field. The true freshman suffered a neck injury during spring practice and while we’re told that he’s doing well, he hasn’t been able to practice since.
OL Drew Bobo (shoulder): The son of Georgia analyst Mike Bobo will be out until spring after having surgery to repair a torn labrum. He had the injury when he arrived at UGA and Kirby Smart says he went as long as he could before getting the procedure.
OL Earnest Greene (back): Georgia could get the giant offensive lineman back in the postseason but no sooner. He had a procedure to correct an issue in his back and will miss the rest of the 2022 regular season. Greene was competing for playing time at guard during preseason camp.
OL Jacob Hood (lower body): The mammoth offensive lineman has been banged up to some extent since spring drills and maybe before that. He missed Georgia spring practice with a foot injury and had a tough time staying healthy in the preseason. Hood hasn’t been available for a game yet this season.

S Dan Jackson (foot): The walk-on safety suffered a foot fracture that reached a point where it needed surgery to fix. Jackson is out for the rest of the 2022 season after starting in one game and playing a key role in the third-down dime package as well as special teams.
OLB Nolan Smith (pectoral muscle): Georgia has been without one of its best leaders since the Florida game. He won’t be back this season and the Bulldogs have had to piece it together defensively without him on the field.
OLB Marvin Jones Jr. (ankle): The former five-star prospect went down against Georgia Tech last week and won’t play in this one. It is a high-ankle sprain but early buzz suggests that he’s expected back for the playoff.
Probable…
WR AD Mitchell (ankle): By the time toe met leather last week, we were expecting Mitchell to play. He came into the game as Georgia tried to draw Tech offsides in the first half, but the Bulldogs used a timeout and he didn’t officially get into the game. It sounds like he’ll get a look in this one but only time will tell.
