Georgia is coming off of the bye week still hoping to get three key players back from injury, and coach Kirby Smart updated their status for the Florida game on Monday at his regular weekly press conference.
WR Lawrence Cager (shoulder), DL Travon Walker (wrist) and CB Tyson Campbell (turf toe) are all slowly making their way back to the regular routine of practicing in hopes of getting on the field in Jacksonville on Saturday.
“Tyson Campbell practiced last week and didn’t go as much at the end of the week,” Smart said of the cornerback has practice in recent weeks but hasn’t seen the field during games. “We’ll see where he is today.”
Smart said Walker is back practicing and supposed to be a full go. Cager is expected to be able to practice on Monday.
“He was able to run routes and do some stuff Thursday,” Smart said. “I thought he looked good doing that. We’re expecting to hopefully get him back, but I won’t know more until we see practice today.”
Georgia is looking for its third straight win in the series at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday in a game to be broadcast on CBS. Like many years, this game will likely decide the SEC East champion.
