Bulldawg Injury Update: TB Samuels back to practice; NG Jenkins to return to practice Saturday
Samuels vs Crowell at TB
Richard Samuels returned to practice Thursday after injuring his quad. It's looking like Georgia expects to play both Samuels and Freshman 5-star phenom Crowell at Tailback. Samuels - due to his seniority and experience - is still first string. But the coaching staff seems to imply that his recovering quad might limit his playing time and starting role. It's just my opinion, but I think both young men will see significant playing time - if for no other reason than to give our Broncos different looks.
Jenkins vs Geathers at NG
John Jenkins returns to limited practice on Saturday and full practice on Monday. It's also looking like a shared role for the pair of 350 pounders Geathers and JUCO Stud transfer Jenkins at Noseguard. Again, in my opinion, I'd expect Geathers to start at NG and Jenkins to either relieve him often or get time at DE (possibly starting). Again, it all depends on how well his hammy is feeling. I think Georgia would like to put Jenkins in the game as often as possible if at least to try to alter our Offensive Strategy.
Because injuries are unpredictable, I'm not sure the Georgia coaches will know any of these answers themselves until game time. Long and short of it, expect to see all four players in the game, giving Brent Pease and his offensive gang plenty to think about.

Supposedly
Branden Smith was seen with a boot on friday morning on campus.. No one has confirmation how serious/minor the injury is it, the rumor going around is that his foot was stepped on during a special teams portion of practice
So I`m assuming no one will know the extent of any injured personnel for Boise until gameday? I have observed the program is pretty quiet about that kind of stuff.
Gosh, that just makes me feel worse for you JaxDawg.
The off-season was truly horrible to Georgia. I wish we could have played against Smith and Boykin, that would have been an awesome challenge. :(
if you think this offseason was bad...
you know nothing about truly horrible offseasons – and good on ya’ brother.
Our previous offseason was predicated by our athletic director being cought with a stripper in his car, dubious amounts of alcohol in his bloodstream, and the aforementioned stripper’s panties in his hand (at least they were red).
Then a string of offseason arrests ensued earning us the highest prize in program shenanigans.
Then our best player, and one of the best in the country was shut down after an NCAA investigation into receiving improper benefits.
There are far too many other details to fully dive into – there are only so many hours in a weekend – but our entire team could get mad cow disease from the Omega Moos, and this year would still be head and shoulders above our previous offseason. I am glad that I can at least write all of this in jest and say “Go Dawgs!!!” with at least a semblance of pride before our matchup – guys in boots notwithstanding.
Looking forward to some good times with all of you Boise State fans prior to the game, and hopefully some good times after.
Boykin is fine
we aren’t sure what the severity is on Smith yet. From what I`ve read, the UGA trainers use boots on players no matter if its severe or extremely minor until they can figure out the extent of the injury we are definitely hoping its not more than a mild sprain
I remember Jeron Johnson was seen in a boot before last years opener at VTech
I don’t believe it ended up being to serious though.
