Georgia football’s Lawrence Cager likely out for SEC Championship

Georgia Bulldog star wide receiver Lawrence Cager is likely out for the SEC Championship Game against the LSU Tigers. Cager suffered an ankle injury this past week in practice. Cager, a transfer from Miami, has made a big impact on UGA’s passing attack and is one of the best players in the nation at the jump ball.

Georgia will need Jake Fromm, George Pickens, and more to step up. It’ll be Georgia’s only hope of making the College Football Playoff. Cager posted an emotional message to his Instagram account:

The energy in Sanford Stadium is undoubtedly electric. I wish it didn’t come to an end like this and if I could go back in time to the beginning and do it again, there isn’t another school I would rather choose. Thank you Dawg Nation for all the great moments this past year. My boys know that we going get that SEC Champ and I’m still with them even if I’m not on the field. Big Dawgs always going to shake back! #GoDawgs

Georgia wouldn’t be 10-1 without Cager, who score clutch second half touchdowns in the Florida and Notre Dame games. It remains to be seen if Cager could suit up for the Playoffs, but let’s be honest, the SEC Championship Game is a de facto playoff game.

Cager has 476 receiving yards and four touchdowns on the season. He was dealing with a shoulder and rib injury before suffering the most recent ankle issue. Best of luck to Cager in his recovery!
