ATHENS - The Georgia Bulldogs and coach Kirby Smart are hoping to get back to full health before the critical game with Ohio State at the Peach Bowl.
The updates include two critical Bulldogs - WR Ladd McConkey and OL Warren McClendon - who left Georgia’s 50-30 win over LSU in the 2022 SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.
"I don’t know when exactly we’ll get those guys back,” Kirby told reporters Wednesday “They’re not practicing yet, but we’re still 16 or 17 days away.”
The Bulldogs will take on No. 4 Ohio State in Atlanta at the 2022 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. The winner of the game will play the winner of the Fiesta Bowl, which features No. 2 Michigan and No. 3 TCU. The Bulldogs are considered 6.5-point favorites to beat the Buckeyes.

Kirby said McClendon was “a light MCL” after the win over LSU - adding: “(I) don’t know how long it will be. He wasn’t able to go back in obviously. Don’t know what grade is.”
The head coach said this of McConkey after the SEC Championship: “Ladd’s (injury) is a continuation of what he’s been having. His knees have been bothering him, and he has some tendinitis in there. It didn’t so much hurt him on the play as it just started aggravating him more and didn’t feel like he could go.”
It is expected that WR AD Mitchell will continue his return heading into the Peach Bowl. Mitchell played against LSU, but missed the bulk of the season healing from two different injuries.
Kirby added that freshman DL Marvin Jones (ankle) is conditioning, and might return to UGA’s practices soon.
