UGA Football: Injury Report headed into Week 6 vs. Tennessee

The Georgia Bulldogs have slowly crept their way into the discussion for one of the deepest teams in the country. Apart from one position, Quarterback, the Dawgs have viable backups in almost every spot. 

That being said, a leaky ship can only have so many holes before it sinks. The Bulldogs training staff spent the off week getting the following players ready for the matchup against SEC East rival, Tennessee. 

(WR) Kearis Jackson - Jackson was featured heavily during the Bulldogs opening week matchup on the road against Vanderbilt, but suffered a broken left hand. Jackson has been cleared by the doctors to play Saturday. Though, I'd still expect James Coley and staff to work him in as needed. 

(DB) Tyson Campbell - Campbell missed the week 4 matchup against Notre Dame due to a right foot injury and it's questionable whether or not he will play Saturday in Knoxville. 

(DB) Eric Stokes - Stokes left the Notre Dame game early in the first half due to an apparent knee injury. Though he returned to the game in the fourth quarter of the matchup, as Coach Smart said: "It was unclear how good he really was." Stokes is questionable for this matchup Saturday. 

(DB) DJ Daniel - Daniel made his first career start against Notre Dame and considering the circumstances and game plan from ND, he played fairly well and held his own against a WR group from the Irish that featured a few big-bodied targets. Daniel tweaked his hamstring this week and is questionable. 

(OL) Solomon Kindley - Kindley has been an All-SEC caliber guard since assuming the starting role at LG back in 2017. He went down with a left ankle injury against Notre Dame and considering the belief this staff has in Cade Mays, and the way they handled Isaiah Wilson's return (only entering the game when absolutely needed), I'd assume Kindley will get similar treatment even though he’s back at practice 

(OT) Owen Condon - Missed last two games with a lower-body injury. 

(DL) Julian Rochester - Rochester has missed three consecutive games with a knee injury. Though he has been seen warming up for all 4 contests of the season. Rochester is questionable for Saturday. 

(QB) Dwan Mathis - Mathis had brain surgery this spring to remove a cyst from his brain, and is out indefinitely.
