Zion Branch added to injury report ahead of SEC Championship Game
Published:
Georgia defensive back Zion Branch is considered questionable for Saturday’s SEC Championship Game matchup against Alabama.
Branch was added to the availability report on Thursday evening. He is the only Georgia player who is “questionable.” Colbie Young, Ethan Barbour, Bo Walker, Kyron Jones, Jordan Hall and Drew Bobo have all been ruled out.
If Branch isn’t able to play on Saturday against the Crimson Tide, it would be a significant loss for Georgia. He’s played 119 snaps in 7 games this season for the Bulldogs, according to Pro Football Focus. He played sparingly over the first half of the season, but has been a consistent presence in UGA’s secondary during SEC play.
On the season, Branch has 22 tackles, 1 tackle for loss and 1 pass deflection.
Both Alabama and Georgia appear to be banged up going into this matchup, but the Tide’s injury report is lengthier in terms of the total number of players expected to miss this game. Alabama has 8 players listed as ‘out’ and another 4 who are questionable.
Kickoff from Atlanta is set for 4 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon.
