Kirby Smart Provides Update on Kendall Milton Prior to Oregon
The University of Georgia is already down one scholarship running back for the remainder of the 2022 football season, with freshman Andrew Paul having suffered a torn ACL during fall camp.
Now, just days before they are set to take on the Oregon Ducks in the Chic-Fil-A Kickoff game inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Kirby Smart has provided a new update on one of his star running backs, Kendall Milton.
Smart told reporters Wednesday that he felt really good about where Milton's progress was. Milton suffered a hamstring "tweak" per Kirby Smart during fall camp and has returned to full action. Smart indicated that Milton had "reached some good numbers on the GPS" and reiterated that he felt Milton was "in good shape"
Despite a few soft tissue injuries here and there and the loss of Arian Smith for a large portion of the season, this Georgia Football team enters their first contest a relatively healthy football club.
