Georgia football may be getting some much-needed help at running back soon. The team’s injury issues have piled up recently, with the running back group hit hardest. Branson Robinson and Roderick Robinson have both been sidelined for an extended period, and Trevor Etienne recently joined them on the injury list. Even wide receiver Dillon Bell got hurt while stepping in at running back.
This has had a major impact on Georgia’s offense, but fortunately, freshman Nate Frazier has stepped up to fill the gap. However, it’s clear that Georgia can’t rely on Frazier alone for the long term, so they desperately need reinforcements.
It seems that help is on the way, as seen in the latest injury report ahead of Georgia’s upcoming game against in-state rival Georgia Tech on Friday night.

It’s clear that both Branson Robinson and Roderick Robinson are now listed as questionable, the first time either has been listed as anything other than out in quite a while. Additionally, Etienne has been upgraded from out to doubtful. While this likely means he won’t play against Georgia Tech, it indicates he’s progressing and could be ready for the SEC Championship game next week.
While there’s no certainty that any of these three players will return against Georgia Tech, it’s encouraging to see that all of them are close to returning. This is exactly what Georgia needs if they aim to win the SEC Championship and make a deep run in the College Football Playoff.
The hope is that at least one of these players will make their return Friday night against Georgia Tech, allowing them to regain some confidence as they head into postseason play.
