Kirby Smart provides Georgia injury updates entering spring practice

Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart provided a number of health updates on several key Bulldogs entering spring football practice. Georgia’s spring practice begins on March 12, but numerous Dawgs will not be participating due to offseason surgeries, recent injuries or injuries that are still lingering from the fall.

Unfortunately, Georgia tight end Pearce Spurlin is medically disqualified due to a heart condition. That was Georgia’s most significant injury update entering the spring.

Georgia’s annual spring football scrimmage is scheduled for Saturday, April 13. The spring game, G-Day, will begin at 1 p.m. ET and be televised on SEC Network+.

Kirby Smart gave injury updates on 12 Georgia football players entering spring practice.
