Heartbreaking news for Kirby Smart: He won’t play again

Georgia football injury report: Kirby Smart reveals which players will miss spring practice

ATHENS — As is always the case, Georgia will be without several players during spring practice following some routine offseason procedures.

When speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Smart listed that the following players would not be available this spring: running back Branson Robinson, offensive tackle Bo Hughley, Defensive lineman Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, tight end Pearce Spurlin and inside linebacker Smael Mondon.

Defensive tackle Christen Miller, wide receiver Rara Thomas, safety Malaki Starks, inside linebacker Kris Jones and defensive back DeMello Jones will limited this spring.

Robinson is still recovering from a ruptured patella tendon he suffered last August. The hope is that he will be fully ready for fall camp. With Robinson out, expect Trevor Etienne, Roderick Robinson, Andrew Paul and Chauncey Bowens to see an uptick in snaps. The Bulldogs have to replace their two leading rushers from last season in Daijun Edwards and Kendall Milton
