Jamie Newman, Broderick Jones, James Cook, Nolan Smith, Jordan Davis and Richard LeCounte are just a few of the guys we can see in action here.

A few guys, however, did have to miss practice one due to injury.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart said in a press conference Sunday night that senior inside linebacker Monty Rice is limited with a foot injury, but ‘he’s taken a lot of reps and played a bunch.’

Also despite recent reports that he was cleared to resume practice, sophomore wide receiver Dominick Blaylock is still restricted due to an ACL tear suffered last season.

Smart said, “He is not completely clear to practice or play, he is going to have a black shirt on .”

Here is the full injury list for week one of preseason practice.

WR Dominick Blaylock (knee)

QB JT Daniels (knee)

LB Monty Rice (foot)

Georgia Bulldogs football player card: OL Broderick Jones

Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Broderick Jones will be a key piece of the offensive front as a freshman

Broderick Jones, Offensive Line (No. 59):

Class: Freshman

Height: 6-4

Weight: 285 pounds

Hometown: Lithonia, Georgia

High School: Lithonia High School

Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Broderick Jones will be a key piece of the offensive front as a freshman. Former Ole Miss head coach Matt Luke will coach up another talented recruit in Jones, who comes to Athens as a five-star recruit.

Jones played in the Under Armour All-American Game in 2020. He played offensive tackle and has the potential to have a similar career to Andrew Thomas. The Lithonia High School product enters his freshman year after being named as the top tackle in the class of 2020 (according to some recruiting services).

Unfortunately, Jones was involved in an accident this offseason. Jones could start as a freshman, although his lack of experience and the lack of traditional preparation for the season could limit the likelihood of him starting.

That being said, Georgia’s offensive line is replacing four starters and Jones will have ample opportunity for playing time. He’ll have to beat out players like Xavier Truss, Jamaree Salyer, Warren McClendon, and Warren Ericson to start.

Georgia football OL signee Broderick Jones injures leg in motor bike accident

The No. 2 OL in the 2020 class, and Georgia football signee Broderick Jones has suffered a lower leg injury due to a motor bike accident.

5-star class of 2020 offensive lineman Broderick Jones, who committed to Georgia this past winter, has recently suffered a lower leg injury in a motor biking accident, per Dawgs247.

The injury comes less than two months prior to the Bulldogs’ season opener against Virginia, scheduled for September 7th.

This is not the news Dawg fans needed right now, following the departure of some key offensive linemen this offseason.  The 6-foot-5, 300 pounder out of Lithonia, GA was expected to seriously compete for a starting position this fall, but that could now be delayed.

The severity surrounding this injury is not yet clear, but according to Dawgs247’s Jake Rowe, it could be a 1-2 month recovery, putting week one up in the air for Jones.

Jones was an instrumental piece to Georgia’s No. 1 overall 2020 recruiting class.  He is rated as the No. 2 offensive tackle in the country as well as the No. 11 overall player.

This is yet another curveball of 2020 delivered to Kirby Smart and the Georgia coaching staff that they will need to deal with.  We will provide more updates on Jones’ injury as they become available.

Georgia football has landed 2020’s top two offensive tackles

The Georgia Bulldogs increased their chances at landing the nation’s top recruiting class for the 2020 cycle by signing Broderick Jones.

The Georgia Bulldogs locked in the nation’s top recruiting class for the 2020 cycle with the signing of 5-star Broderick Jones.

The first-ranked offensive tackle had been pledged for nearly two years; he committed to the University of Georgia in April 2018 but recently flirted with Auburn.

Now, he’s all Dawg.

This makes Jones the Silver Britches’ second blue chip tackle to sign in for the 2020 class. Fellow Georgia resident Tate Ratledge signed with UGA during December’s early signing period after committing seven months prior.

Combined with Sedrick Van Pran, high school’s top prospect at center, the Bulldogs have cleaned up in the offensive trenches following the departure of beloved offensive line coach Sam Pittman who was hired to the Arkansas Razorbacks’ next head coach on December 8.

Aditionally, Georgia lost four offensive linemen to the NFL draft and the transfer portal.

According to Rivals.com, the Bulldogs have three of the best o-liners available. With Jones’s commitment solidified, the Red and Black now have five Rivals five stars and have all but cemented 2020’s best recruiting class.

Report: 5-star Georgia football commit no longer visiting Auburn this weekend

P5-star Georgia football OT commit Broderick Jones will no longer be visiting Auburn this weekend. The Tigers were UGA’s biggest threat.

5-star offensive tackle Broderick Jones, one of Georgia’s highest ranked commitments in the class of 2020, has had Bulldog fans on the edge of their seats the past few weeks.

Jones, a 6-5, 300 pounder out of Lithonia, Georgia, ranks as the nation’s No. 11 overall prospect and has been committed to Georgia since April of 2018.

Despite his longtime commitment, he was not comfortable signing with Georgia during the early. Former UGA offensive line coach Sam Pittman’s departure for Arkansas likely had something to do with Jones keeping his recruitment open.

Auburn has been Georgia’s biggest threat to flip the 5-star tackle. Jones has planned to take a visit there this weekend, but per a report from Keith Niebuhr of 247, he will no longer make that visit.

That does not make him joining the Bulldogs official, but it does put Georgia fans’ minds at ease knowing he will not visit Auburn just a few days before National Signing Day.

Jones was in Athens this past weekend, along with a plethora of elite recruits.

Following his visit, he posted on Twitter about what a great time he had and how he is still committed to the Dawgs.

Five-star UGA football target re-confirms his commitment

Five-star Georgia Bulldogs football commit Broderick Jones has re-confirmed his commitment to UGA. Jones has visited the Auburn Tigers.

Five-star Georgia Bulldogs football commit Broderick Jones has re-confirmed his commitment to UGA. Jones has visited the Auburn Tigers, Illinois, and Arkansas in recent weeks.

This past weekend Jones visited Athens. The trip prompted him to re-confirm his commitment to Georgia via Twitter:

Jones is Georgia’s most important remaining target in the class of 2020. Jones played high school football in Lithonia, Georgia and is 6-5. He is rated as a top five offensive tackle in his class according to nearly every recruiting website.

Jones would be an important addition for Kirby Smart and his staff, who lost a boatload of offensive line talent to the NFL and to a transfer. UGA’s offensive line has gotten some more good injury news in recent weeks as well. Jones has the potential to start as a freshman.

The Dawgs have lost four of their previous five starting offensive lineman from the 2019 season: LT Andrew Thomas (NFL), LG Solomon Kindley, RG Cade Mays (transfer to Tennessee), and RT Isaiah Wilson (NFL). UGA need all the help they can get at offensive line with the line only returning starting center Trey Hill.

Ben Cleveland, Justin Shaffer, Trey Hill, and Jamaree Salyer are expected to start next season, but would will hold down the fifth spot? Jones will make a run at the left tackle job if he ends up in Athens.
