Georgia has it’s longest official availability report of the 2024 season ahead of Florida but it’s largely due to a couple of first-half suspensions. Both Dan Jackson and Joenel Aguero are listed out for the first half of the game. Both were ejected for targeting in the second half of the Bulldogs 30-15 win over Texas and UGA has eight players listed on Wednesday’s report.

It shuts down any thoughts that those two might win an appeal to get them back on the field to start that game. Both Jackson and Aguero are starters and they’ll be replaced by KJ Bolden and JaCorey Thomas.

The Bulldogs have four more players who are out with injury but they list two key players as probable in sophomore defensive lineman Jordan Hall and senior right guard Tate Ratledge. Georgia has been without each of those guys for at least the past four games.

Ratledge has been out since Kentucky where he suffered a sprained MCL and a high-ankle sprain against Kentucky in mid-September. He underwent tight rope a little over six weeks ago after starting the first three games of the season. Ratledge was available for the Bulldogs win at Texas. He went through his own personal warmup before the game, prior to Georgia’s team warmup, without any apparent limitations.

Hall hasn’t played this season after stress fractures were discovered in each of his shins in late July and early August. It took surgery on each leg to remedy the ailment. The Jacksonville native has dressed out for each of Georgia’s past three games and appeared to be available in all three but did not get into the game.

Running backs Branson Robinson and Roderick Robinson are listed out for the game. So are senior inside linebacker Smael Mondon and freshman defensive end Joseph Jonah-Ajonye.

Branson Robinson suffered an MCL sprain in the first quarter of Georgia’s win over Mississippi State. He was quickly ruled out for the game at Texas. Roderick Robinson hasn’t played this year after having toe surgery in the preseason. He’ll be back late next month at the earliest.

Mondon has been out since the Alabama game with a foot injury. Early indications were that the senior linebacker could be in danger of missing the rest of the season. Now a return in November looks possible. Smart revealed on Tuesday Jonah-Ajonye is done for the season after surgery for a “lower extremity” injury.
