Georgia is expected to be without its best offensive lineman for the time being as left tackle Jamaree Salyer is dealing with a foot injury.

The injury is expected to keep the senior offensive lineman out for Saturday’s game against Missouri as well as next week’s game at Tennessee. Ugasports.com and Dawgs247 were the first to report the news on the Salyer injury.

Salyer’s replacement is likely to be redshirt freshman offensive tackle Broderick Jones. When Salyer went down in the Auburn game with an ankle injury, it was Jones who stepped in for Salyer. Jones has played in every game so far this season, including spending time with the first-team offensive line at both tackle spots.

“Competed well, really physical. It became a different kind of game at that point,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said after the Auburn game. “I forget exactly when Jamaree went out, I know it was the first half. In the second half, it really became a physical game, and I thought they played really hard, all those guys played really physical.”
