Head Coach Kirby Smart made it known that Georgia receiver Lawrence Cager would be returning to practice Monday.
Cager, the star receiver that Georgia has leaned on throughout the season. The graduate transfer from Miami has built great chemistry with Jake Fromm on the field, he has been the most impactful player on the field at times for Georgia this season. “Cager, we’re expecting him to be able to practice today,” Smart said Monday in his press conference. But he also let it be known that sophomore defensive back Tyson Campbell is still questionable. Campbell hasn’t been on the game field for the Dawgs since the Arkansas State game, where he suffered an injury in his foot that has held him out since then. Campbell returned to practice for the first time since the injury during the bye week last week. It is very important that Campbell is fully 100%healthy before returning to the field for the Dawgs. Depth at cornerback has not been a problem so far for Georgia. JUCO transfer DJ Daniels has done a great job filling in for Campbell. Daniels has done very well in coverage and has made some big plays in his time filling in. Daniels was the one to bat down the hail mary ball thrown by Ian Book to essentially end the great clash that went down in Sanford Stadium earlier this season. Cager, however, has been dealing with two injuries since South Carolina. Cager was dealing with both rib and shoulder injuries after that game which ended up keeping him out of returning to the game after the first half. Lawrence Cager also sat out of the Kentucky game, he is expected to be back healthy by Saturday. Cager is the best receiver on the roster for Georgia and has led them in receiving before injury sat him out of a game and a half. Also in other great news, freshman standout defensive lineman Travon Walker will be full-go this week for Georgia. Walker has been dealing with a wrist injury since Tennessee. He played very well for the Dawgs to start out the year. He was able to fight his way into the starting rotation during fall camp and rode that momentum into the season. With Georgia getting back some of their top guys for this weekend. It will make life easier for Georgia to gameplan for Florida, Cager has the ability to be a game-changer on offense for the Dawgs. It is also being said that Florida is getting back some key players as well from injuries. One includes Jabari Zuniga, who is a dominant defensive lineman for the Gators. When healthy he can create some problems upfront for Georgia.
