ATHENS — Georgia and Alabama might have key offensive players sidelined or limited when the teams play in the SEC Championship Game.
The No. 1-ranked Bulldogs (12-0) and the No. 3-ranked Crimson Tide (11-1) hope to be as close to full strength as possible when they meet at 4 p.m. in Mercedes-Benz Stadium next Saturday.
Alabama coach Nick Saban said on Sunday night that redshirt senior tailback Brian Robinson Jr. has a “lower body pulled muscle” and will be evaluated during the course of the week.
Georgia coach Kirby Smart didn’t share any more information on Sunday about receiver and punt returner Kearis Jackson, a team captain who exited the Georgia Tech game on Saturday with a rib injury.
