Drew Bobo questionable for Missouri game

Georgia center Drew Bobo was added to the Bulldogs’ availability report Thursday and is questionable for the game against Missouri. Bobo has started every game this season for an offensive line that has used the same starting group each week.

If Bobo cannot play, Georgia could turn to Cortez Smith or Malachi Toliver at center. Smith worked at center with the second-team offense during Georgia’s win over Ole Miss, while Toliver replaced Bobo last season after hand and foot injuries ended Bobo’s season against Georgia Tech.

Toliver has made three career starts and had been working at guard, though he and Smith have rotated between guard and center this season. Starting right guard Zykie Helton also could move to center if needed.

Georgia ran for 295 yards against Ole Miss last week, but Missouri enters this matchup ranked third in the SEC in run defense. Georgia’s offensive line also was named a semifinalist this week for the Joe Moore Award, which goes to the nation’s top offensive line.

Defensive tackle Joshua Horton is questionable with a leg injury. Outside linebacker Amaris Williams is out with a knee injury, while Bobo’s injury is listed as undisclosed.

The SEC will release another availability report Friday, followed by a final update 90 minutes before kickoff. Georgia and Missouri are scheduled to play at 3:30 p.m. ET.

Why it matters

Bobo has started every game for a Georgia offensive line that has kept the same starting group throughout the season. His status could force a change at center against Missouri’s third-ranked SEC run defense.

What to watch next

The SEC will issue another availability report Friday and a final update 90 minutes before the 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff.
