Kirby Smart provides latest update on Tyrique McGhee, Terry Godwin following Georgia practice
Published:
Georgia will head to South Carolina this weekend in great health overall but there are still a few players that will be limited this week as the Bulldogs prepare for what could be the toughest test they will face in the SEC East this season.
Following the team’s most recent practice on Tuesday, Kirby Smart provided the latest update on projected starting cornerback Tyrique McGhee and starting receiver Terry Godwin — both players missed the 45-0 win in the season opener over Austin Peay.
On the return to practice of Tyrique McGhee:
‘’I thought he was alright. He’s pushing through. He was able to take, I’d say, probably 25 percent of the reps. We got a lot of reps on Tuesday and he took probably a quarter of them. He seemed OK. I would reserve judgment until I watched it. I didn’t notice him messing up a lot. Seemed like he had fresher legs than some of the other guys. We’re hoping he’ll be able to play, but I don’t think we’ll know probably until closer to the end of the week.’’
On the availability of Terry Godwin against South Carolina:
‘’It’s gonna depend on whether he’s healthy enough or not, and that’s still to be determined. We can’t take a guy that’s not going to be able to play. We don’t know that yet. I feel good after watching him today that he’ll be able to play, but that won’t be certain until probably Thursday.’’
