Georgia will probably be without two starters for its upcoming game with Kentucky on Saturday, according to a report from Seth Emerson of DawgNation.com.
Sophomore defensive lineman DaQuan Hawkins-Muckle and sophomore wide receiver Jayson Stanley are “looking unlikely” for the Week 10 division contest with the Wildcats.
Defensive tackle DaQuan Hawkins-Muckle was absent, as he has been all week, after spraining his ankle against Florida. The sophomore has started about half the season so far for the Bulldogs.
Receiver Jayson Stanley was also missing for a second straight day. Head coach Kirby Smart said the day before that Stanley was dealing with a mild infection. Stanley has started five games this year but hasn’t recorded a catch.
Per Georgia’s two-deep depth chart (which can be found on OurLads.com), Georgia fans can expect freshman Julian Rochester to get some action in Hawkins-Muckle’s absence, along with senior Reggie Davis in Stanley’s spot.
Georgia (4-4, 2-4) has lost four of its last five games and needs a win in Lexington, Ky. this weekend over Kentucky (5-3, 4-2) to remain in the hunt for a bowl appearance this postseason.
