Georgia football’s official availability report for Thursday’s 8 p.m. Sugar Bowl game against Ole Misshas been released.

This is the first season that the College Football Playoff has had reporting policies for teams ahead of games. Georgia and Ole Miss are playing in a quarterfinal matchup.

The CFP is releasing daily reports starting three days before the game including a final report 90 minutes before kickoff on game day.

Georgia had seven players listed on the Monday Dec. 29 report.

Most notably, starting defensive end Gabe Harris is listed as out with a turf toe injury, but wide receiver Colbie Young, who hasn’t played since the Ole Miss game on Oct. 18 due to a broken leg, is listed as probable.

Tight end Ethan Barbour is also listed as probable. He’s been sidelined since sustaining an ankle injury in week two.

“They’re doing everything they can to try to get back for the game,” quarterback Gunner Stockton said on Sunday of Young and Barbour. “Y’all will know at game time when we do. I hope they are able to play. I know they’ve been putting enough work to be able to play.”

Said offensive coordinator Mike Bobo: “If we could get those two guys back, and hopefully for this game, it’s just two more weapons that are at our offense’s disposal and Gunner’s disposal.”

It’s noteworthy that starting offensive guard Dontrell Glover isn’t listed on the availability report. Neither is reserve running back Bo Walker. Those two were arrested earlier this month on misdemeanor theft by shoplifting charges.

Any player facing a suspension for a CFP game — even for a half — would need to be listed, a CFP spokesman told the Athens Banner-Herald.

Ole Miss listed star running back Kewan Lacey as probable with a shoulder injury.

Here’s a rundown of where Georgia stands on the rest of the report. The CFP does not specify why a player is listed, but some injuries have previously been reported.
