Georgia's Richard LeCounte Expected to Make Full Recovery After Traffic Accident

Georgia safety Richard LeCounte is expected to make a full recovery following his traffic accident in Athens, Ga. on Saturday night.

Head coach Kirby Smart told reporters on Monday that LeCounte remains hospitalized but is doing well. The senior was moved from ICU to a regular hospital room on Monday.

"He was very fortunate to have his helmet on, and be where he is now," Smart said.

After the Bulldogs returned to Athens from Lexington, Ky., on Saturday night, LeCounte was riding his dirt bike when it struck a vehicle attempting to make a left turn.
