Georgia’s Jamon Dumas-Johnson left the game against Missouri on Saturday after suffering an arm injury. The linebacker entered the injury tent toward the end of the third quarter and was escorted to the locker room for further examination with his left arm hanging low.
He becomes the latest starter in the Bulldogs’ team to suffer an injury this season, following the likes of Amarium Mims, Brock Bowers, Ladd McConkey and a host of others. Nonetheless, this hasn’t hindered No. 1 Georgia's push to win the national title for the third consecutive season.
Jamon Dumas-Johnson injury update
Following the 30-21 win over the Missouri Tigers, Georgia coach Kirby Smart addressed the injury, disclosing that X-rays had identified a fracture in Dumas-Johnson's left arm.
However, Smart did not provide additional details about which specific bone may have been fractured. He did mention that he did not anticipate Dumas-Johnson being able to play with an arm cast.
“I don’t think so,” Smart said. “I don’t know that. I’d have to go see. I just got a text with the X-ray on it, and it’s just one of those that I doubt he’s going to be able to. But I don’t know.”
