The Georgia Bulldogs are a little bit banged up entering their 2024 season opener against the Clemson Tigers . Georgia has not suffered many major injuries thus far, but the Bulldogs have a few question marks.

Georgia’s top position questions are running back and defensive line. The Bulldogs are expected to be without defensive lineman Jordan Hall , who suffered a stress fracture. Fellow defensive lineman Warren Brinson is expected to play, but he could see limited snaps as he is recovering from an Achilles injury.

“Warren (Brinson) looks good. He’s practiced every day. We’ve practiced for Clemson. He’s done a good job. He’s been out there competing,” said Georgia football head coach Kirby Smart.

South Carolina defensive line transfer Xzavier McLeod is considered questionable with an abdominal strain.

Georgia’s other top position of concern is running back. Georgia head coach Kirby Smart refuses to comment on Trevor Etienne’s status. Etienne, a Florida transfer, is likely suspended after being arrested for driving under the influence this offseason. Georgia running back Roderick Robinson will not play due to turf toe.

“Rod did have surgery on his toe,” Smart said.

Georgia wide receiver Colbie Young , a Miami transfer is expected to play. He recently missed practice with a hamstring injury, but has been healthy recently.

“Yeah, Colbie (Young)’s been great,” Smart said. “He practiced ever since we started on Clemson full go (on Thursday of last week). He’s been great and should be ready to go.”

In addition to these injury concerns, the Bulldogs have a slew of players that could face suspensions for driving incidents this offseason. Georgia linebacker Smael Mondon is the other key Bulldog, aside from Trevor Etienne, that could face a suspension, but he is expected to play.
