Georgia is set to hit the road for the first time in the 2023 season. The Bulldogs will take on Auburn Saturday in the 128th playing of The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry and they are the 14-point favorites. UGA is a banged-up football team right now but it might be healing a bit as it travels to The Plains. DawgsHQ provides a look at the injury report, as we know it, below.

Georgia players OUT for Auburn

RB Branson Robinson (knee): The bruising sophomore is done for the season with a torn patella tendon. He’s expected to make a full recovery but won’t be back until 2024.

OL Amarius Mims (ankle): The massive right tackle suffered a high-ankle sprain against South Carolina. He will miss several weeks after having tight-rope surgery.

UGA players DOUBTFUL for Auburn

OL Joshua Miller (undisclosed): The freshman offensive lineman has been dinged up since he got to Georgia. He’s currently sporting a big brace on his leg.

ILB E.J. Lightsey (shoulder): Lightsey has yet to suit up this season due to a shoulder injury that he has been dealing with for a bit. The Georgia native has been unable to capitalize on a strong offseason thus far.

DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins (foot): The redshirt sophomore won’t get a chance to play again this week. He is dealing with a foot injury that has lingered since preseason camp. He’s still in a boot and using a scooter to get around, so the South Carolina is likely out for a little while longer.

RB Roderick Robinson (ankle): The California native got just one carry last week and gained a couple of yards. But he also sustained a mild high-ankle sprain that could keep him out for a bit. He did not practice this week.

Georgia players QUESTIONABLE for Auburn

RB Kendall Milton (hamstring): Milton has battled through a hamstring injury already this season and now he’s dealing with a sprained MCL. Milton got some practice work in this week and we’re pretty sure he’ll make the trip. Whether or not he plays, however, is still up in the air.

WR Ladd McConkey (back): Georgia shut McConkey down for the better part of two weeks and he returned to the practice field this week. Smart gave a pretty optimistic update on his junior wideout earlier in the week but it’s all going to depend on how he feels on Friday and Saturday. We also expect him to make the trip.

TE Pearce Spurlin (shoulder): Smart says the freshman tight end has an AC sprain and a few other issues. Spurlin should be back soon but Smart hasn’t provided any sort of timeline just yet. We are interested to see if he makes the trip.

TE Lawson Luckie (ankle): Luckie dressed out last week and we’re told he probably could have played a limited role against UAB. He has done more this week. The true freshman is likely available but that doesn’t mean he will play.

UGA players PROBABLE for Auburn

OL Austin Blaske (lower body): Blaske has been dealing with an MCL injury since the second week of the season and he’s not yet 100 percent. With that said, our intel suggests that he’s available to play against Auburn.

S Javon Bullard (ankle): We thought we might see Bullard two weeks ago against South Carolina when he was doing a lot during pre-game warmup. He did not play in that game and didn’t even dress last week against UAB. All signs to him being back for the Tigers.

DE Mykel Williams (illness): We learned of Williams’ issue about an hour before the UAB game. Our sources said then that Williams should be back for Auburn and it looks like that will be the case.
