Earnest Greene Surfers Injury During Second Scrimmage for Georgia
Georgia offensive lineman and projected starter at left tackle, Earnest Greene has suffered an injury during the second scrimmage, sources have confirmed. The sophomore from St. Johns Bosco in California is in the midst of a position battle between he and junior offensive lineman Austin Blaske.
Kirby Smart was asked about the injury Saturday after the scrimmage:
"Earnest got a little banged up today, but he went back in today, played about ten or eleven plays then went out again. He and Truss got banged up on the same play. I think both will be ok. Think it's an ankle injury."
