Georgia football injury report for UGA vs Auburn game

UGA football is banged up heading into the Georgia vs Auburn football game.

The No. 4 Georgia Bulldogs are coming off of a 27-0 smackdown of Missouri, as well as a massive win over Florida the week prior.  The Dawgs have been rolling with a three game win streak since the hiccup of South Carolina.

Approaching week 12 comes Georgia’s biggest game thus far, a chance to secure its 3rd straight trip to the SEC Championship.

Auburn is currently ranked No. 12 with a record of 7-2, 4-2 in SEC. Its two loss season is not to be overlooked as the Tigers lost close games at No. 10 Florida and No. 1 LSU.

Last weekend vs Missouri, Georgia won, but it came at cost. The Dawgs lost a few players to injuries throughout the game, but for the most part nothing looks too serious.

Here’s a look at the Dawgs injury report prior to the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.

Full injury report:

Probable: WR Lawrence Cager

Cager aggravated his shoulder last game and did not return.  The Dawgs leading receiver has been practicing this week and is expected to play on Saturday.  Having Cager against Auburn will be crucial, as he has become Fromm’s favorite target this season.

Probable: WR Tyler Simmons

Simmons’ shoulder has been bothering for a majority of the season but he should be good to go.

Probable: OL Cade Mays

Mays left the Missouri game with a hurt ankle but has indicated that he is fine.

Probable: CB Tyson Campbell

Campbell missed a significant chunk of the season with turf toe but played vs Missouri and said he felt great out there.

This Saturday, No. 4 Georgia travels to Auburn to take on the No. 11 ranked Tigers in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.

The Bulldogs are favored to win the game, but it will by no means be an easy task.

With the game being featured on the SEC on CBS, the whole country will be watching as Georgia fights to keep its season alive.

We think the Dawgs have what it takes to return to Athens with a win and clinch a spot in its third straight SEC Championship.

ESPN FPI projects Georgia football’s final three games

The ESPN FPI predicts Georgia football’s final three games of the season, including this weekend’s UGA vs Auburn game.

[jwplayer Cn4kXaGN]

ESPN’s FPI has Georgia favored in two of its next next three matchups.

Where the program sees Georgia losing is this weekend to Auburn, where it gives the Bulldogs a 47.4% chance of beating the Tigers on the road.

Coming off a 27-0 win over Missouri, Georgia’s chances of beating Auburn actually increased 2% from last week’s 45%, according to the FPI.

After this weekend, UGA’s final two games of the season, as predicted by the FPI, include a home game vs Texas A&M (Georgia has a 84.1% chance of winning) and on the road at Georgia Tech (Georgia has a 97.1% chance in that game).

In terms of strength of record, the FPI ranks Georgia No. 11, with two signature wins and an 8-1 record.

Additionally, the FPI gives Georgia a 17.7% chance of winning out, which is what it will need to if it wants to make the College Football Playoff.
