SDS News: Kirby Smart provides last on injuries and who’s out for the season opener

Georgia coach Kirby Smart updated the status of several injured players during his press conference on Monday.

Smart said that junior defensive back Tyrique McGhee will not play in Saturday’s season opener against Austin Peay. McGhee has a broken bone in his foot, which he sustained during the team’s first scrimmage.

Senior wide receiver Terry Godwin is questionable for the opener. Godwin has a minor left MCL injury that he has been dealing with since the start of spring drills.

Freshman wide receivers Jayson Stanley (quadriceps injury) and Kearis Jackson (hamstring injury) are both more likely to play.
