Running back availability still a concern for Georgia as 2023 season nears
NASHVILLE — Georgia coach Kirby Smart had a lot to say about his running backs at SEC media days. While the position isn’t the focal point of football like it once was, that Smart fielded so many questions about the running backs speaks to where the position is at the moment.

UGA has plenty of RB bodies, yes....but not healthy ones...at least not right now Hopefully by fall. ACL and foot injuries. Always a nemesis. They can "cripple" a running back room. Coach Smart did not appear overly concerned. I'll ride with that.
UGA can buy time until 9/30 and go 4 - 0 with Whitehead, SClark, CJones and RRobinson playing RB. UGA can also use jet sweeps w/84, 6, 86 and 19 and some QB2 runs from 12 as a way to supplement the running game until more guys are game ready.
Rushing APaul back would be a mistake. UGA usually err's on the side of caution when returning players from injury. Probably won't see Paul until the 2nd half of the season. If then.
It will be hard to break into the Milton/Edwards rotation but given a chance, I see Len'Neth really shining for no other reason than he is gifted and he's playing at home. R Robinson and Paul will be wild cards with the potential to bring back memories of Herschel/Chubb.
