Georgia Bulldogs safety Richard LeCounte was injured in a traffic collision in Athens, Georgia on Saturday night. LeCounte was involved in the accident following Georgia’s 14-3 victory over the Kentucky Wildcats.
Thankfully, LeCounte is okay, which is what really matters following a scary accident. He’ll recover and he doesn’t need surgery. Looking in the immediate future, LeCounte will likely be out against the Florida Gators, but it is more important that he survived the traffic accident.
Richard LeCounte is the leader of the Georgia Bulldog defense and will be missed. He reportedly suffered bruised ribs, a concussion, and a shoulder injury in the multi-vehicle accident, per ESPN. Fortunately, he has no broken bones. LeCounte was admitted to the hospital following the accident.
LeCounte’s injury adds to Georgia’s mounting unfortunate luck. Safety Lewis Cine hurt his ankle and did not return against the Kentucky Wildcats. Cine may be able to return next week, but it is possible the UGA will be without their two top safeties against Kyle Trask and Florida.
Heal up soon Richard LeCounte!
