No. 1 Georgia loses tight end Brock Bowers to sprained left foot against Vandy

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Preseason All-American tight end Brock Bowers hurt his left ankle midway through the second quarter Saturday against Vanderbilt, knocking him out for the rest of No. 1 Georgia's game Saturday.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart told CBS at halftime that Bowers will get get X-rays on the foot.

“He was in good spirits,” Smart said. “He's got a little bit of an ankle sprain on the bottom part of his foot, but he thinks he'll be fine.”

Bowers was hurt at the end of a 14-yard gain on an end around down to the Vanderbilt 11. He was tackled by Vanderbilt safety Savion Riley on the sideline, and the junior was slow to get up and limped heavily once he did.
