With Thompson out, these defensive linemen may see more snaps

With Trenton Thompson unavailable for Georgia's upcoming game against Vanderbilt, a few other defensive linemen will have the opportunity to take some extra reps.

Thompson, who suffered a knee injury against Tennessee, will be big a void to replace up front as he has proved to be one of Georgia's better defenders over the past couple of seasons. Through five games, Thompson has tallied 17 tackles, with three of those going for a loss. But in Thompson's absence, Georgia will have the opportunity to rotate more defensive linemen with the hopes of replacing his production.

“We rolled a lot of guys last year and now they’re a year older,” head coach Kirby Smart said.
