Georgia got some apparent good news on the injury front Thursday afternoon.

Junior offensive lineman Justin Shaffer, who missed much of this year with a neck injury, tweeted that he’s been cleared and will be allowed to resume working out with the team.

At 6-foot-4, 335-pounds, Shaffer played in Georgia’s first six games before suffering the injury against South Carolina.

The news is also good as it pertains to the offensive line, which must replace three starters, along with Cade Mays, from a season ago.

Last year, Shaffer backed up Solomon Kindley at right guard. Assuming he can stay healthy, the Cedar Grove lineman should contend for the starting job at the position this fall.

Shaffer has played in 26 games for the Bulldogs over the course of his career, with his lone start coming last season against Tennessee.
