Tate Ratledge injury update
Ratledge is currently out with a sprained MCL in his left knee and sprained left ankle.
The Bulldogs' 6-foot-6 offensive lineman went down in the second quarter with a leg and knee injury in Saturday's game vs. Kentucky. Per Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald, Ratledge grabbed his left leg once he went down and signaled over to the Bulldog's sideline for help. He was then helped off the field by Georgia's training staff.
"I was told ankle and knee but I don't know which is worse or how bad it is," Smart said after Georgia's 13-12 win at Kentucky on Saturday. "I don't know much about it."
Ratledge was seen in street clothes and a walking boot with crutches as he walked off the filed Saturday in Lexington, Kentucky following Georgia's win.
How long is Tate Ratledge out?
Per Weiszer, Ratledge should be back in time for Georgia's Nov. 2 game vs. Florida at Sanford Stadium in Athens.
Following its Week 4 bye, Georgia is set to play No. 4 Alabama, Mississippi State and No. 2 Texas over the next three weeks. The Bulldogs have their second bye week in Week 8 on Oct. 26.
