Over 12 players out for SEC championship game

The Georgia Bulldogs will be without several starters in the SEC championship against the Alabama Crimson Tide. In fact, both teams are extremely banged up entering Saturday’s SEC championship.

Georgia has six players out for the game and safety Zion Branch has an injury designation (questionable) that popped up on Thursday. It is unclear what Branch’s injury is. Alabama has eight players out for the game and four players that are questionable to play.

Georgia running back Chauncey Bowens has been battling injuries and has not had a carry since he left in the fourth quarter of the Texas game. Bowens does not appear on the injury report, but he’s clearly not 100%.

Bowens is not the only injured Georgia running back. Freshman Bo Walker is out. “Bo is not going to be with us,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said after Walker was reportedly involved in a car crash. “He was required to have a surgery. He’ll be out for this game.”

Georgia’s running game will be missing a significant piece in center Drew Bobo, who left the Georgia Tech game with a foot injury. Bobo was seen with a boot on his foot and has been ruled out for the SEC championship. With Bobo out, Georgia is expected to start center Malachi Toliver.

Georgia is still without receiver Colbie Young. Georgia tight end Ethan Barbour is likely out for the year along with defensive lineman Jordan Hall. Defensive back Kyron Jones (foot) remains out. If Zion Branch is out, then Georgia will be without two key safeties. It is not all bad injury news for Georgia. Receiver Talyn Taylor no longer appears on the injury report.
