DT Jalen Carter, who has been dealing with an ankle injury, "looks much better," per Kirby Smart. He said he's taking more volume in practice and rotating in on line.

If we hear “we hope to get him back,” then you know the guy’s out for a good while.

what in the world is going on with Arik Gilbert? I truly hope that things turn for him and he’s able to capitalize on his talent because he’s got a great opportunity. Either with Georgia or elsewhere, I’d love to see it work out for him.

The Arik situation is one of the more bizarre I’ve seen. My only assumption I have is that his issues are pronounced but internal because whatever they are, Coach doesn’t think they are impacting the team. The kid’s as talented as they come and he’s got two excellent mentors ahead of him and Kirby has obviously taken an interest. Hopefully, he can navigate whatever those issues are.
Carter taking fewer reps means more reps for the other young dudes. As long as he’s good to go from cocktail party on that’s fine with me.

The Gilbert thing is a head scratcher.
How is AD Mitchell still not better? Kirby initially said he could have gone back into the Samford game if we needed him. Now he is hobbling around on the sidelines not even dressed out.

My highschool coach says rub some cramergesic (we called it Cream of Jesus) on them, and they’ll be good to go. Then again, my football coach also gave us cokes and Snickers at halftime yet was befuddled by all the second half cramping.

It was definitely Screaming Jesus when applied to the groin. Also, nothing like it sweating off your lower back and going down the ass crack.

I get where you’re coming from, and you’re not wrong, but God forbid #19 gets hurt, we can’t rely on a single player to bail us out to score all the points.

My assumption on all injuries is that we are playing a soft enough schedule that the coaches know the remaining talent is good enough to get through the games, all while building depth. Same thing with the OL tinkering at guard we keep seeing.
As others have said, I think we see nearly everyone back by FU and the OL settles to an official starting 5 for the November gauntlet.

Get the ‘24 starters some meaningful reps now and get the ‘22 guys healthy.

I always appreciate Smart’s straightforward talk. Blunt and to the point…EXCEPT when talking about players dealing with injuries or other issues. He just can’t bear to tell what is really going on. Guess he doesn’t want the other side to know. I don’t even listen to his injury updates anymore!
