The Bulldogs are working their way back in preparation for the season opener on Saturday.
Smart mentioned that running back Roderick Robinson has undergone toe surgery and is expected to have a week-to-week recovery timeline. He also noted that wide receiver Colbie Young has been practicing since the beginning of the focus on Clemson, along with defensive tackle Warren Brinson.
“Warren looks good. He’s been practicing every day leading up to Clemson,” Smart said. “He missed some time in camp, which is important for laying a foundation, but he has had four training camps during his time at Georgia, so this isn’t his first experience.”
Robinson stepped up early in his freshman season due to injuries to Kendall Milton and Daijun Edwards. However, he suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 3 against South Carolina, which kept him out for six games before he returned to play against Ole Miss.
In that game versus Ole Miss, Robinson carried the ball twice for 37 yards, but he did not see action in the following three games. He did return for the Orange Bowl, where he recorded 7 carries for 70 yards in the Bulldogs’ impressive win over Florida State.
Young has been considered a key offseason acquisition after transferring from Miami, where he had a productive junior season with 47 catches for 563 yards and 5 touchdowns.
Brinson, who started three games last season, was a valuable member of the defensive line, finishing the year with 21 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks.
