Each week, the SEC issues an official ‘student-athlete availability report‘ (aka injury report) on Wednesday evening each week. The conference also releases an update 90 minutes before kickoff.
The official injury report for Georgia at Texas is out. The notable Longhorns on the report are Derek Williams Jr. and Isaiah Bond. Both players were hurt against Oklahoma.
“Derek will be out the remainder of the season,” Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said of the sophomore safety’s knee injury. “He’ll have surgery here in a couple weeks unfortunately.”
Williams finished the OU game with four total tackles (all solo) a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. The defensive back missed the Louisiana-Monroe and Mississippi State games before returning against the Sooners.
Bond, the speedy wide receiver, limped off the field in the first half at the Cotton Bowl with an ankle injury. After returning in the second half, Bond re-aggravated it. Sarkisian’s update on the Alabama transfer was more positive.
“(Bond) had a pretty good practice today (Wednesday),” Sarkisian said on a conference call with reporters.
Sarkisian indicated Bond could be upgraded to probable when the final injury report comes out Saturday.
