Georgia could be without elite defender vs. Alabama

Brett Davis - USA Today Sports

Alabama will be at full strength for Saturday’s game versus Georgia, but are the Bulldogs healthy?

According to Benjamin Wolk of Dawgs 247, Bulldogs’ star edge rusher Mikel Williams is a “game-time decision” for the Southeastern Conference showdown versus Alabama. Williams has been recovering from an ankle injury he suffered against Tennessee Tech. He did not make the trip to Lexington (Ky.) to take on the Wildcats two weeks ago in a 13-12 win for Georgia.

The 6-foot-5, 265-pounder has two tackles and two tackles for loss.

He had 6.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, two pass breakups, and a forced fumble last year.

Georgia is at its best with Williams on defense, but it will be interesting to see if he plays.
