Georgia TE Brock Bowers to undergo tight-rope surgery on injured ankle​

Georgia will be without it’s top offensive weapon at least a few weeks and maybe more. UGA has announced that tight end Brock Bowers will undergo tight-rope surgery on Monday on his left ankle. A full recovery is expected. The surgery is meant to speed up the healing process from a high ankle sprain, which is the injury Bowers sustained on Saturday in the Bulldogs’ 37-20 win over Vanderbilt.

Damn.

Hopefully he recovers 100%.
After we play them

For someone who has little left to prove in college, and has the brightest of NFL futures ahead of him, it wouldn’t bother me one bit if he decided to shut it down.

And I’d be of that opinion if he wasn’t a Georgia Bulldog.

Hopefully he's fully recovered the week after we hand them a big fat L

 

[ZippyMorocco]

He's out 4-6 weeks

Having surgery on an ankle sprain. Out 4-6 weeks.

This could be HUGE for us.

No ill-will toward him but he's by far their best offensive weapon.

He basically is their offense.

I doubt he plays again this season. They will have atleast 1 loss by the time they hobble into Neyland.

That's too bad. He's one of the most exciting players in college football.

 

[Cod]

He's their Bru to us.... wish him well!

I’d feel so confident if Milton was just average

That's a brutal blow for the Dawgs. I'm sure they've got a couple more 5 stars to trot out there, but that kid is special. Irreplaceable. Hate the Dawgs with a burning fire,.but I hate to see a talent like that taken off the field.

Doctors aren't making money off you if they're not cutting on you.

Couldnt wait to getnin a dig agaisnt Joe...amazing. The thread had zero to do with our qb and yet you start pissing negativity asap..

I think he could come back if UGA is in Atlanta. I’d be surprised if his ankle will be ready for Knoxville, though it’s far too early to tell.

He could easily shut it down, though. He has nothing left to prove. Something tells me he wants back on the field, but that’s little more than wishful thinking now.

UGA enjoyed decent injury luck in the last two years. Not this year: Bowers out maybe the rest of the year; number 1 WR severely limited; top OT out since S.Car.; top 3 RBs each missing multiple games (one out for the year); multiple other OL/TEs missing multiple games. Ain’t nobody gonna cry for UGA (nor should they) and injuries are a part of the game, but it’s a lot on one side of the ball.

It is really odd that you know his measurements.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Get well soon Brock!

 

[VolInDayton]

This is the surgery that Bryce Young and Cedric Tillman had. I think that 4-6 weeks seem optimistic for a TE. I wonder how likely he is to push it with a high NFL draft pick already locked up.

Now that is funny!!! Post of the day.

It's voluntary surgery for a (high) sprained ankle. With a good tape job he could be back in half that time or less, and I'm speaking from experience.

Thanks, man. Just like with Bru, we can hate the laundry and still hold the men that wear it in high regard.

Behind Bowers is Oscar Delp—a solid receiving TE whose blocking isn’t quite there yet. Behind him are some young guys with lots of stars and measurables but not many snaps yet. I bet UGA will run far fewer 2-TE sets.

Huge blow to their threepeat chances if he's really out that long. I think we've got a shot in that game honestly.
