Georgia linebacker Natrez Patrick has entered a drug treatment program and will reportedly miss the Rose Bowl, ESPN's Mark Schlabach reports. 

The junior from Atlanta faced misdeamnor drug charges after he was arrested in a traffic stop hours after Georgia beat Auburn on Dec. 5. The charge was dismissed but Patrick failed a ensuing drug-test, reports the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. 

He had 35 tackles for the Bulldogs this season. 

Schlabach reported that Patrick is facing dismissal from the team from his third marijuana-related arrest. He was reportedly arrested in October this year and as a freshman in 2015.
