The 4-1 Georgia Bulldogs are set to host the 1-4 Mississippi State Bulldogs in the highly anticipated "Battle of the Bulldogs" this Saturday. Georgia enters the matchup riding a four-game winning streak against Mississippi State and aims to extend their dominance. However, this time around, the Dawgs are navigating a mix of injury challenges and potential returns, which could impact the game in key areas.
DawgsCentral reported Robinson was still in a hard walking boot on the sidelines of UGA’s game against Auburn last week. Ratledge has been fighting to return from TightRope surgery on a high-ankle sprain suffered against Kentucky. In Ratledge's absence, Micah Morris has stepped up to fill the gap. With Robinson out, Cash Jones has emerged as a key contributor in the running back room. At center, Jared Wilson's status for Saturday's game is questionable after missing the Auburn matchup, where Drew Bobo stepped in and delivered some solid moments.
On defense, leader Smael Mondon Jr. is out after suffering a lower-leg injury during the Auburn game. Raylen Wilson is expected to take on a bigger role in his absence, with young linebackers Justin Williams and Chris Cole possibly seeing significant playing time this Saturday. Defensive lineman Jordan Hall remains questionable for the upcoming game, still recovering from surgeries to repair stress fractures that have kept him out this season.
