Defensive end Jordan Hall will miss the season-opener against Clemson while he recovers from a second stress fracture to the tibia in his other leg.

According to head coach Kirby Smart, Hall was recovering from his first injury, before suffering the second injury while running.

Smart could not recall if it was the right or the left.

"Jordan was coming back, starting to run from his, what was the exact word there, he had a stress fracture in his tibia, and he is now dealing with the exact same thing on the other leg," Smart said. "So the other leg had the same thing, that strange for it to occur. But he didn't acknowledge it until he started running and he was coming back from the first one."

Smart said Hall underwent a similar procedure to correct the latest injury, but, could not say exactly when he will be back.

"We had to fix the other one, but he's on a good timeline. It's not a long-term deal and now he actually knows what to expect, because he's had it done to the left and the right," Smart said. "So I don't know the order of those, but it doesn't matter. He had the other one fixed. He's gonna be back, although we don't know the exact timeline for that. But he's been in great spirits, and I'm just glad they found it when they did."

Hall is not the only Bulldog dealing with injury.

Smart also said that running back Roderick Robinson is dealing with a toe injury. UGASports reported that Robinson was wearing a protective boot on Tuesday.

Other injuries include center Jared Wilson who has missed much of the start of camp with Achilles tendinitis while linebacker Chaz Chambliss is dealing with a soft tissue hamstring injury.

"Injuries are part of football, so we've been lucky so far. We haven't had significant injuries, but we have a lot of guys that are soft tissue, beat up, banged up, and we're trying to get them back," Smart said. "Jared's doing well, he's been dealing with Achilles tendonitis. He's been great, he's worked on the side, he's been having a push. He's been able to do some things yesterday and continues to ramp up his exposure and ramp up his reps.He's doing well."

So too, is Chambliss.

"Chad's dealing with a soft tissue hamstring that he's dealt with before. But he's been able to do some things too." Smart said. "He did more yesterday, and he'll do a little more today, but both (Chambliss and Wilson) are dealing with some nagging injuries.

Of note, injury reports similar to what we see in the NFL are on the verge of being a reality in the SEC.

Although a mandatory injury report has not been approved, the league appears close to making it a reality.

A decision could come before the start of the regular season when athletic directors are scheduled to meet.

If approved, the league’s report would likely include two categories – questionable and out.
