Georgia’s defensive line took another hit Saturday.

Sophomore DaQuan Hawkins may miss the rest of spring practice with a knee injury suffered in Saturday’s scrimmage.

Kirby Smart knows it will be a tough spring for this group because of the injuries sustained.

โ€œItโ€™s not as bad as Michael Barnettโ€™s but very similar,โ€ Smart said, via the Athens Banner-Herald. โ€œSo we donโ€™t know if weโ€™ll get him back or not for the spring game. Now with Barnett and DaQuan Hawkins out, you can see the cupboardโ€™s getting bare on the D-line. Itโ€™s getting tougher and tougher for us.โ€

Hawkins joins fellow defensive lineman Michael Barnett with knee injuries suffered this spring.

Georgia’s defense is very talented, but like any other program — with the exception of maybe Alabama, depth is key, and injuries deplete depth.
