Georgia’s secondary depth has been lacking this spring, according to Kirby Smart.
On Tuesday, Georgia defensive back Mark Webb suffered a knee injury in practice. The severity of it was unknown.
Smart revealed on Thursday that it was a torn meniscus that sidelined Webb:

The good news is that Webb is expected to return to action this fall.
Webb entered the 2018 season with hopes of locking down a starting job at one of the cornerback spots. That was after the former 4-star recruit made an impact on special teams as a true freshman in 2017. He made the switch from receiver to defensive back last September.
Georgia will try and avoid any more injuries to the secondary when it hosts G-Day on Saturday at 4 p.m. ET.
