The Georgia Bulldogs are going to be down a starting linebacker when they host the Auburn Tigers at home on Saturday for the 129th meeting of the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry.
According to Georgia's injury report, inside linebacker Smael Mondon will miss the game due to a foot injury.
In addition to Mondon, running back Roderick Robinson (toe) and right guard Tate Ratledge (ankle) remain out following surgeries.
Head coach Kirby Smart could not provide an update on when Robinson could return to the lineup.
Defensive end Mykel Williams (ankle), wide receivers London Humphreys (mono) and Sacovie White (unknown), and center Jared Wilson (unknown) went from questionable to probable for Saturday.
White and Wilson left last week's loss with injuries which appear to not be anything serious.
Williams played limited snaps against Alabama after missing two games and it sounds like the Bulldogs will proceed with caution this weekend.
"Mykel has come along nicely. He's still sore. He's going to be sore on it. That's to be understood," Smart told reporters on Wednesday. "It's not when you go play on that and return from that injury, you have to deal with some pain and deal with that soreness. He's done a tremendous job with rehab, and we've done a really good job of trying to help get him back, get him ahead of schedule each week."
Defensive lineman Jordan Hall (legs) is listed as questionable.
Smart said Hall is trending in the right direction.
"Jordan's continuing to progress and working hard. I mean, he does indy drills, he takes reps," Smart said. "He's dealing with a little bit of pain there, and he's just trying to get comfortable to tolerate that. I mean, it's a very unique thing where he had both legs, not just one, which that's compounded the issue a little bit for him."
