Georgia Defensive Standout Jalen Carter Out Due To Knee Injury
Georgia defensive standout Jalen Carter will be out for at least a week due to a knee injury. Carter was injured during Saturday’s win against Missouri.
Coach Kirby Smart updated dawgnation.com on Monday and is unsure of a timeline for his exact return.
“We don’t know how long it’s going to be,” Smart said of Carter’s recovery, “but it’s doesn’t look good for this week.”
Prior to the start of Saturday’s game, words were exchanged with Carter and several Missouri players. Coach Smart also addressed those concerns with the media on Monday.
“All I worry about is our guys’ behavior, and we don’t want to represent that at all,” Smart said. “I think we have done a really good job here at Georgia of representing our university the right way. We play with our helmets and we don’t talk to the other team. Disappointed in any player that would talk to somebody on the other team, and we don’t condone it.
“It’s something we need to get fixed. Some teams you play do that more than others, and some teams are from the same line of thinking as yourself in terms of not talking after plays and not talking before games. I’m not saying that Missouri is. I am saying I’m worried about how our guys behave, and that’s not what we want.”
