Georgia football defensive lineman Mykel Williams is a game-time decision for the Bulldogs ahead of their game against Alabama on Saturday night, according to the SEC football availability report.

Williams has been dealing with an ankle injury he sustained during the season opener against Clemson and has not appeared in a game since Week 1 with the condition.

The injury is considered a Grade 2 left ankle sprain, which usually require a recovery time of 3 to 6 weeks.

Williams will warm up with the Bulldogs prior to the game to test the injury, and it is "expected" he will attempt to play, according to reports.

Georgia listed Williams as questionable on its Friday football availability report, indicating that he had a 50 percent chance to play, according to the SEC's definition of the term.

Georgia listed five other players as out for the game.

Defensive lineman Jordan Hill and offensive guard Tate Ratledge were designated as out against the Crimson Tide, as were three skill players.

Wide receivers London Humphreys and Sacovie White will not appear for the Bulldogs, and running back Roderick Robinson remains out with the injury he sustained in fall camp.

Alabama designated three players as probable for the game, including linebackers Qua Russaw and Jeremiah Alexander and tailback Richard Young.
