Georgia football injury report: Two key OL 'probable,' one starting DB 'out'

The first SEC Student-Athlete availability report of the week is out and Georgia is looking healthier on the offensive line but not at defensive back. Starting left tackle Monroe Freeling isn’t on the report at all while right tackles Juan Gaston and Earnest Greene are probable. Starting safety Kyron Jones is out.
Georgia announced soon after the injury report was released that Jones sustained a foot injury and is out “indefinitely.’ Freshman wideouts Thomas Blackshear and Talyn Taylor, freshman tight end Ethan Barbour, and redshirt freshman center Malachi Toliver are also out. Those four players have been out for the past three games. Blackshear and Barbour have been out since week three while Toliver has been out since the Alabama game.
Sophomore running back Chauncey Bowens is also absent from the injury report. Georgia used him for just 11 snaps in the 20-10 win over Auburn. Bowens is the team’s leading rusher in 2025.
Gaston, who started but failed to finish the Auburn game due to an ankle injury, started Georgia’s season opener against Marshall but only played 19 snaps after suffering an ankle sprain and a knee sprain on the same leg. He missed week two and returned in week three against Tennessee but did not finish the game. Since the bye week, Gaston has played at least 29 snaps in each of the past three games. He saw 52 snaps against Auburn.

Greene (back) has 25 starts in his Georgia career but only two have come this season. He started 23 straight games at left tackle between the 2023 and 2024 seasons before a shoulder injury put him on the shelf. He returned as the offensive line’s sixth man at the end of the 2024 season. The California native started both the Marshall and Tennessee games, but he has failed to play in the other four games.
Freeling was questionable on all three reports leading up to last week’s game day. The report released before Georgia vs. Auburn kickoff listed him as a game-time decision. He went on to play all but nine snaps and won SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week.
