ATHENS - UGA Football coach Kirby Smart gave a Saturday morning update on injured tight end Brock Bowers.
Kirby told ESPN’s College Gameday that Bowers would be a “gametime decision”.
Bowers had so-called tight-rope surgery on his ankle two days after injuring it in Nashville during No. 1 UGA’s 37-20 win over Vandy. The Bulldogs played without the California native in wins over the Gators and last week vs. No. 14 Missouri.

“I don't know if he will be 100%,” Kirby said of Bowers’ ability to play on Saturday night against the No. 10 Ole Miss Rebels.
On Friday Bowers’ father Warren told the Athens Banner-Herald that the tight end playing would depend on the injured ankle.
“There is no timeline for return to play,” Warren Bowers told the outlet. “It all depends on how the ankle is responding. It could be this week. It could be next week. It could be the following week. Or not at all. It all depends.”
