Georgia DB Tykee Smith out for season after tearing ACL

Georgia’s secondary is going to be down yet another healthy body for the rest of the season. Sources have confirmed to DawgsHQ that junior defensive back Tykee Smith tore his ACL in practice this week. The injury will, of course, require surgery.

Second injury of the year for Smith

This isn’t the first time that the West Virginia transfer has dealt with injury during his brief time on campus in Athens. During preseason practice, Smith suffered a foot injury. That injury kept him out of the first five games of the season.

He made his Bulldog debut this past weekend against Auburn, appearing on kickoff coverage and just once on defense.
