The Bulldogs are looking to make another run to the SEC Championship and the College Football Playoff this season. They got off on the right foot in that journey in Week 1. However, Kirby Smart does know his team is already dealing with plenty of injuries.

Ahead of Week 2, Smart shared several injury updates for Georgia. That began with defensive back Daylen Everette, as well as two offensive linemen, Earnest Greene and Juan Gaston. He would note that all three of them are dealing with what could be described as lower body injuries.

“Daylen Everette is dealing with an ankle injury,” Kirby Smart said. “Seems to be doing well. Was able to run and do some things yesterday, and should be able to crank it back up today and do more. Juan and EG, we’re hopeful to get both those guys back this week, but only time will tell.”

Daylen Everette is a senior who started in each of the last two seasons for Georgia. He’d be a Third-Team All-SEC selection last season, coming off a season where he led the defense with three interceptions, two of which were in the SEC Championship Game. in the SEC Championship.

On the offensive line, Juan Gaston was a four-star recruit in the Class of 2025. He became the first true freshman Georgia offensive lineman to start in a season opener since 2017. Meanwhile, Earnest Greene is a veteran who has been at Georgia since 2022 and played in 25 games while making 23 starts over the past two seasons.

Later, Smart also shared an update on another veteran offensive lineman, Micah Morris, who has played in 32 games over the past three seasons. However, he now has a cast on his hand, and it’s unclear how long it will take to get back on the field.

“I’m not sure of the timeline on that,” Smart said. “He has the option of a hand cast with fingers out that he was not as comfortable with that he may be moving to. Kyron [Jones] is dealing with the same thing, but I can’t answer that. I don’t know when he’s going to be able to be out of the complete club.”
