Georgia football's first game of the season against Marshall is just a few days away, but there is a chance they will be missing their starting punter. Brett Thorson suffered a nasty knee injury during the SEC Championship game against Texas, and that injury has impacted him all offseason.

For a few weeks now, Kirby Smart has hinted at Thorson not being healthy enough to play against Marshall, but the latest update from Smart on Tuesday indicates that he is trending in the right direction and now has a chance to play on Saturday.
