ATHENS - The bye week was good for UGA Football in terms of getting healthy.

Georgia stomped the Florida Gators 43-20 in Jacksonville and managed to stay healthy overall in doing so. Several players were questionable with varying injuries heading into the matchup against the Gators. 

Two of those players were starters in Kendall Milton and Xavier Truss, and they each played. Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins returned to the action in a big way. He forced a fumble on Saturday after missing the majority of the season with a foot injury. 

The Bulldogs look to be in solid shape for its matchup against Missouri. Georgia did not lose any starters on Saturday, but did not come out of the matchup entirely unscathed. Here are some updates from Kirby Smart:

Amarius Mims

Amarius Mims was dressed out for the first time since he injured his ankle against South Carolina. He warmed up with the second string, but did not play. 

“He's gotta be healthy enough to play and be the best available player to play. I mean, he's working his butt off. He did extra work Friday, extra work Saturday, extra work yesterday, and he's going out today to continue to work. But at the end of the day, he's gotta be confident to go out and play. And he's much closer to that today than he was last week is all I can tell you,” Smart said.

CJ Allen

“C.J. Allen  is day to day. He felt a tweak in his hamstring, but I think he's going to be fine. Just we'll find out more today,” Smart said. 

Ladd McConkey

Ladd McConkey had his best game of the season on Saturday, catching six passes for 135 yards and a touchdown. 

He is still considered day-to-day with a back injury. 

“Yeah, it's been frustrating for him. Not for me. But it's frustrating for him, I know, because all he wants to do is have a great year, and he came back to have a great year, and then to have something unexpected happen like that, it's been frustrating for him. But he came out of the game great. We've got a little routine we've done now in terms of what we do Sunday, what do we do Monday, what do we do Tuesday. And now that we've got that routine, it seems to be working, and we keep doing what we're doing,” Smart said. 

Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins 

“It's getting him back in the right shape, stamina, all the way back. He hasn't been able to practice very much and didn't do much last week until Thursday. And so he's at a position that he rolls over there with Mykel and Tramel, and hopefully he can take a load off those guys and keep them fresher and give us a little more size,” Smart said. 

Dan Jackson

“Yeah, he's dealing with a bursa. His knee has a bursa sac in there that's been bothering him. It actually got infected. In the Vanderbilt game, it happened while we were there and didn't find out until the morning. So we didn't get him in the Vanderbilt game the last minute, and then he was unable to go last week. And we're hopeful to get him back this week and give us some extra depth in the secondary. He's supposed to be able to do some stuff today for the first time. But we'll see how he does,” Smart said.
