Georgia loses Robinson, Dandridge during Ole Miss win

Georgia cornerback Ellis Robinson and wide receiver Craig Dandridge left Saturday’s 42-7 victory at Ole Miss, adding two injury concerns before the Bulldogs face Missouri. The win moved Georgia to 8-1.

Robinson exited in the fourth quarter after recording four tackles and a pass breakup. He also drew a defensive pass interference penalty. Coach Kirby Smart cited Robinson’s “thigh, hip” when asked about the exit, which came one game after the cornerback left the Florida game with a knee injury.

Dandridge departed during the third quarter. Sideline reporter DJ Shockley reported a leg injury, while Smart said Dandridge has dealt with a lower hamstring issue near his knee for two or three weeks.

Before leaving, Dandridge scored the game’s opening touchdown on a speed sweep and drew a key pass interference penalty. He did not catch a pass. Dandridge entered the game as Georgia’s leading receiver, but Talyn Taylor moved ahead of him with a 140-yard performance.

Defensive tackle Joshua Horton also exited in the third quarter after being rolled up on during Chris Cole’s sack of Trinidad Chambliss.

Wide receiver Isiah Canion returned after missing every game since Georgia played Arkansas, finishing without a catch on one target. Tight end Elyiss Williams, running back Chauncey Bowens and wide receiver Thomas Blackshear dressed but did not play.

Defensive back Tyriq Green, defensive lineman Joseph Jonah-Ajonye and linebacker AJ Kruah were ruled out before the game. The injury list also identified outside linebacker Amaris Williams as out with a knee injury.

Why it matters

Robinson has now left two consecutive games, and Dandridge entered Saturday as Georgia’s leading receiver. Both players exited before Georgia’s next game against Missouri.

What to watch next

Georgia returns against Missouri with kickoff set for 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
