Kirby Smart announced that redshirt freshman wide receiver, Kearis Jackson broke his hand against Vanderbilt over the weekend.

Jackson brought in two receptions for 31 yards against the Commodores before going down with injury.

Georgia WR Kearis Jackson has broken bones in his hand and is out for at least several weeks per Kirby Smart, who estimated it will be three-to-four weeks.

Jackson’s injury gives the rest of the receiving corps in Lawrence Cager, Demetris Robertson, Tyler Simmons, George Pickens and Matt Landers a chance to step up.
