Georgia football defensive lineman suffers injury

As they prepare to begin fall camp, the Georgia Bulldogs received some negative news on the injury front on Tuesday. Sophomore defensive lineman Jordan Hall suffered a lower leg fracture and is expected to miss the next few weeks of football related activities.

Hall is a 6-4, 320-pound defensive tackle originally from Jacksonville, Florida. In limited playing time a year ago, Hall recorded 10 total tackles, including four in the victory against the Tennessee Volunteers. Hall is expected to factor in heavily to the Bulldogs’ rotation on the defensive line this season after the departures of Zion Logue and Tramel Walthour from a year ago. We project Hall to be Georgia’s second-string defensive tackle this season.

Georgia opens the season against the Clemson Tigers in Atlanta, Georgia, at 12:00 E.T. on ABC. Reports indicate that Hall is aiming to be healthy in time for the opener. Sophomores Christen Miller and Jamaal Jarrett are among those who could see more playing time if Hall is unavailable or limited for the start of the season.

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart updated the status of several other injured Bulldogs at SEC media days, but he did not mention Hall’s injury.
