No. 1 Georgia loses RB Robinson to season-ending injury
Branson Robinson was returning from a turf toe injury he suffered in spring practice before rupturing his patellar tendon Tuesday.
Smart said Robinson's injury “puts us in a tough situation” at running back as quarterback Carson Beck enters his first season as the starter. Kendall Milton and Daijan Edwards are the most experienced running backs. Roderick Robinson, Cash Jones and Andrew Paul also could be part of the rotation.
Branson Robinson was returning from a turf toe injury he suffered in spring practice rupturing his patellar tendon in what Smart said was a non-contact injury.
“It’ll be done by committee as it always has been here,” Smart said of the plan at running back.
"I hate it for Branson, because he had really worked hard. By the end of the spring, when he had the turf toe, he was battling back all offseason. He’s had a great summer and looked really good in the days leading up to this injury.”
