At least 10 players ruled out for Georgia-Ole Miss game

The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs (7-1, 5-1 in SEC) prepare for a season-defining matchup against the No. 10 Ole Miss Rebels (6-2, 4-2 in SEC). With Georgia 's SEC championship bid in the balance and Ole Miss's playoff chances in the balance, both teams are going to need all hands on deck. Unfortunately, with the physicality of the sport, there are bound to be injuries, and there are a few for both teams . Ole Miss has a lengthy list of outs for their game against Georgia. For starters, star running back Kewan Lacy has officially been listed as out. Pete Golding said that it was unlikely for Lacy to play in this game against Georgia due to his dislocated shoulder injury, and Lacy's far from the only one. Safety Edwin Joseph is also listed as out for the game too. Defensive lineman Kam Franklin and leading tackler Keaton Thomas were listed as questionable, while cornerback Jalyn Crawford and left tackle Terez Davis were listed as probable. Ole Miss will get back linebacker Luke Ferrelli for the game, but a lot could change on Saturday. For Georgia, only Amaris Williams is out, with him still recovering from a torn ACL.
