Why Georgia WR missed the Western Kentucky game

The Georgia Bulldogs dominated the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in a 70-20 victory in the rain at Sanford Stadium. Georgia jumped out to a 49-0 lead in the contest. Wide receiver Thomas Blackshear was absent from Georgia's win.

Following the game, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart shared that Blackshear has a wrist injury that forced him to miss the game. Blackshear is expected to be part of Georgia's wide receiver rotation and saw significant playing time in Week 1 against Tennessee State when he posted two catches for 15 yards.
