The Georgia football team is coming off a dramatic loss to Alabama in one of the top games of the season. Now, they prepare for another SEC battle against Auburn, as the Bulldogs aim to rebound against Hugh Freeze’s squad.
Before the Auburn matchup, Georgia received positive news regarding defensive lineman , who has been recovering from an injury. According to Pete Nakos of On3, Williams has been upgraded from questionable to probable in Thursday’s injury report.
Additionally, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart shared an optimistic update on Williams, according to Kipp Adams of Dawgs 247. While acknowledging that Williams is still dealing with soreness, Smart praised his efforts to return to action.
“Mykel has progressed well,” Smart said. “He’s still sore, which is expected. When you come back from an injury like that, you have to manage the pain and discomfort. But he’s done a great job with his rehab, and we’ve worked hard to get him back on track, ahead of schedule each week.”

Williams played in the season opener against Clemson but has been sidelined with the injury ever since. His expected return will be a significant boost to Georgia’s defense, especially with Smael Mondon ruled out for the Auburn game.
Georgia will face Mississippi State in Week 7 before a highly anticipated Week 8 matchup against Texas in Austin, which has major SEC and College Football Playoff implications. After a tough loss to Alabama, the Bulldogs look set to receive a key defensive boost with Williams likely to return, barring any setbacks.
