Bowers sprains ankle in Georgia win

The top-ranked Bulldogs took care of Vanderbilt, but star tight end Brock Bowers left the game early after an awkward tackle.

Georgia star tight end Brock Bowers sprained his left ankle during Saturday’s game against Vanderbilt, head coach Kirby Smart said after the game.

Bowers exited in the second quarter after an awkward tackle left him limping. He eventually walked off the field under his own power.

Smart said the X-rays on Bowers’ ankle came back negative.

The junior was fifth in the SEC in receiving yards entering Week 7. He had four receptions for 22 yards before he left the game, bringing his season totals to 567 yards on 41 catches. He added two carries for 21 yards on the ground.

The Bulldogs have a week off before their next game against Florida on Oct. 28, giving him an extra chance to rest.

Georgia Bulldogs return to the football field for 2023 NFL training camp

NFL football has returned for training camp. NFL preseason action starts on Aug. 3.

The 2023 NFL season will feature a ton of Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia has had 25 players drafted over the past two seasons, which is the most of any college football program. Georgia finished the 2023 NFL draft with the tied-for most players selected of any school.

How are Georgia Bulldogs fitting in with their new (or old) teams at NFL training camp? Here’s a look at some of the top photos of former Georgia Bulldogs in the NFL:

Bo Nix to start at QB for No. 11 Oregon vs. No. 3 Georgia

Looks like Bo Nix will get the start for Oregon against Georgia on Saturday.

We may have known the outcome of this quarterback competition in Eugene for a while now, but it’s officially been made official.

Bo Nix will be starting under center for the Oregon Ducks in Week 1 against the Georgia Bulldogs.

There wasn’t an official announcement, but ahead of Saturday’s game, Nix warmed up taking snaps from Alex Forsyth, the starting center. Nix also took reps with the starters in the team period ahead of the game as well.

After starting for three seasons with the Auburn Tigers and transferring to Oregon following the 2021 season, Nix was in a QB competition with freshmen Ty Thompson and Jay Butterfield. It was Nix who had the more impressive performance in the annual Spring Game, but the Oregon coaching staff kept it an open competition throughout the offseason so as not to show their hands, and to potentially stave off a leap into the transfer portal from either of the other players.

So long as Nix plays up to his potential and helps the Ducks succeed on the field, it will be No. 10 under center throughout the season. If we get a repeat of the past season though, and there is any faltering at the top spot, you can bet that Oregon fans will be quick to call for Thompson to take over once again.
