Georgia injury update: JT Daniels’ ‘pitch count’ up, George Pickens improving, key defender returns
ATHENS — The Georgia football offense could be on the verge of becoming more explosive, based on Coach Kirby Smart’s injury update on Tuesday.

Glad to see Daniels improving. In a year with so many injuries, it sure is great to have two starting QB's. Hopefully Daniels can be 100% by Jacksonville.
George Pickens improvement is great to hear. Hopefully we get to see him by the Missouri or Tennessee game. That would give him a few games to get back before the SEC Championship game.
With 11 days before the FU game to build up to game day levels, there is no need to double JTD's "pitch count" and distance now. It only takes 1 throw of overdoing it to be back to square one with this injury. As for GPickens, with the stretch schedule, there is no need to rush him back . He will not be needed until the SECCG on 12/4. That gives him 5 more weeks to heal and GRADUALLY build up his strength and conditioning . Would be great to get him back but he really isn't needed yet. Speed and CSmith back will help greatly down the stretch. Never saw anything reported on LB TMarshall's injury. He is out but for how long?
Good time to get everyone healthy for this 8 game stretch coming up!
"Smart said there’s a 'long-term plan' there -- that the family is aware of and is kept private."
Any thoughts? Dec 4 SECCG as UGADad20 suggested. He should be close or at100% by then.
Here is hoping most of the walking wounded get back for the Worlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, and there is no added names tacked on the list.
Why do fans think that we don't "need" certain players in certain games? We need EVERY ABLE-BODIED PLAYER in every game we play. There is no saving a (healthy) player for later in the season. This isn't the pros where you can lose 4,5,6 games and still make the playoffs. And there are NO GUARANTEES for any game. If Pickens or Daniels or even Arik Gilbert (lol) is cleared to play next week against Florida, let's play them. They've had half a season to "rest." I wonder if during these pressers if Smart addresses all the injured players or just a few. I'd like updates on Rochester and Jacksaint and Blaylock. That actual injury list at the bottom is really only helpful regarding players who are definitely out.
With the number of games that JT Daniels has missed this year you have to wonder if he will come back for his senior year to build his resume'. If he does come back for his senior year it's possible we could lose Beck, Vandagriff or Stockton to the transfer portal. Just a thought...
I doubt Pickens or anybody would be very effective in their first real game coming off knee surgery. It will likely take a few games to get up to speed. I hope he gets those real game reps a couple games before the SECCG.
Doesn't Stetson have an extra year of eligibility remaining due to COVID as well? If so, you'd have to presume he'd be back as well.
Pickens may return for the CGs then stay on for his senior year. Could be the big secret Smart is sharing with family?
If JT returns and possibly Bennett, yet again, Beck is gone. Vandagriff really likes UGA and is close to home. He will stay. Stockton...who knows? Doubt it....he is a showman and likes the limelight. I can still see a very strong QB Room intact.
We have a whole football team on the injury list...but we need this week to recover. but if Jt is ready coach....put him in, lets not play that game okay.
Gunner is not going anywhere IMO. That is 100% your opinion and based on nothing but you. Gunner is not going anywhere is based on mine and the person Gunner is. I do think that your opinion of what Gunner is about is way off and 100% incorrect. But again, that's just mine.
I’m pretty sure the medical and coaching staff know what they are doing…
Opinion, yes, opinion. Some agree, some disagree. No problem. That is DawgNation. Gunner is a very good young talent. Very humble boy. He may stay to see how things work out. I would love to have him as a major contributor to UGA QB Room. I am confident Vandagriff will be, You may be right about Gunner.....it is all opinion at this juncture.
I must not understand the nature of lat injuries. JT got in close to twice as many throws in a single practice as he would in an actual game ?
