ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia’s opening SEC availability sheet for Saturday’s 7:30 p.m. kickoff at Ole Miss lists six Bulldogs as questionable and only outside linebacker Amaris Williams as out, while wide receiver Isiah Canion is probable.
Eight Georgia players appear on the Wednesday report. Questionable: Chauncey Bowens at running back, Thomas Blackshear at receiver, Tyriq Green at safety, Elyiss Williams at tight end, Joseph Jonah-Ajonye on the defensive line and AJ Kruah at linebacker. Jonah-Ajonye, Elyiss Williams and Kruah joined the sheet this week.
Canion, who transferred from Georgia Tech, has been sidelined since leaving the Sept. 19 Arkansas game and is probable after Smart described a lower-body issue. He returned to individual drills last week and warmed up in a brace before the Florida win.
Bowens has missed three straight games with a foot injury suffered against Vanderbilt. Surgery is off the table for now, and he has gotten some practice work this week. Blackshear has also missed three games after a collarbone injury against Vanderbilt. Green has been out since a high-ankle sprain against Western Kentucky on Sept. 12.
Cornerback Ellis Robinson left the Florida game with a knee concern but is absent from the sheet, a signal he is expected to play. Smart said earlier in the week that Robinson looked good. Robinson has two interceptions, 15 tackles and five pass breakups on the season.
Amaris Williams remains out with a knee injury and is not projected back before the postseason at the earliest. Jonah-Ajonye is dealing with a sprained ankle from the Florida win. Ole Miss carries a longer out list that includes running back Kewan Lacy. The SEC updates availability daily through Friday and again 90 minutes before kickoff.
