Branson Robinson News, Rumors, Updates - Georgia Bulldogs

DNP for SEC Championship Game Robinson (knee) did not play during the SEC Championship Game against Texas on Saturday.

Impact Robinson will look to be available for the 2024-25 College Football Playoff. Fortunately for him, Georgia defeated Texas, giving the Bulldogs a first-round tournament bye. They will take on either No. 10 Indiana or No. 7 Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1.

Ruled a game-time call Robinson (knee) will be a game-time decision against Texas in Saturday's SEC Championship Game.

Impact Robinson hasn't played since suffering a knee injury against Missouri in Week 7, missing Georgia's last six games. If Robinson can suit up against Texas, it would be a major boost to a Bulldogs' rushing attack that's also expecting to get Trevor Etienne back. Robinson, a redshirt sophomore, ran for 73 yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries earlier in the year.

Questionable against Longhorns Robinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's SEC Championship matchup against Texas, per Georgia's official team injury report.

Impact Earlier this week, head coach Kirby Smart indicated that Robinson is close to making his return for the Bulldogs after missing each of the team's previous six games with a knee injury, and Robinson's questionable designation may support that claim. The redshirt sophomore running back didn't exactly blow anybody away with his yardage totals early in the season, but he had a nose for the end zone, scoring three touchdowns in just 25 carries across six games. Robinson is part of a hobbled backfield for the Bulldogs, as fellow running backs Trevor Etienne and Chauncey Bowens will carry questionable designations into Saturday's game as well. Fellow running back Nate Frazier has commanded an enlarged role within the offense over the last few games and will likely lead the way for Georgia once again should injuries persist.

DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Could be available Saturday Georgia's head coach Kirby Smart said he is hopeful Robinson (knee) will be available for the SEC Championship Game against Texas on Saturday, Anthony Dasher of Rivals reports.

Impact Robinson's availability brings at least a bit more stability to Georgia's running game, which could be without Trevor Etienne (ribs) on Saturday. The SEC is expected to publicize an injury report Wednesday, perhaps without Robinson included in what may be a worrying injury list, considering the several running back injuries the Bulldogs are dealing with right now.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start opener Robinson is in line to start at running back in Saturday's season opener versus Clemson, Rivals.com reports.

Impact Robinson's starting job may only last one week with Trever Etienne suspended, but he figures to take on a significant workload in the opener with both Etienne and Roderick Robinson (toe) sidelined. (Roderick) Robinson is also likely out for the first month-plus, so (Branson) Robinson should remain involved in the backfield mix for a while and could unlock more future carries if he performs Saturday.

Georgia running back Branson Robinson impressing in return from injury The redshirt sophomore looks set to play a significant role in the backfield after tearing his patellar tendon last August.

AUGUST 22 • 247SPORTS.COM

Continues to impress Robinson (knee) has been impressive since "his return from injury" earlier in August, Jordan D. Hill of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Hill's words were publicized after a team scrimmage Georgia underwent Saturday. Robinson got some first-team work then, splitting carries with Trevor Etienne, suggesting the former could be a top-two rusher for UGA during 2024. Before sitting out 2023 because of a ruptured patella tendon, Robinson logged 62 carries for 298 yards and three touchdowns. Even if Etienne is clearly the No. 1 option among Georgia's running backs, Robinson being a top-two option should allow him to surpass his 2022 output during 2024.

Able to start fall camp Robinson (knee) will be able to start fall camp under a load management restriction, per Radi Nabulsi of UGASports.com.

Impact It's big news for Robinson whose availability for fall camp was previously questionable while he recovered from a knee injury suffered in August. The 5-foot-10 running back missed the entire 2023 season with the injury and previously ran for 298 yards and three touchdowns in 2022, though Robinson could be in line for a bigger role in the Georgia offense in 2024.

AUGUST 1 • ROTOWIRE

Still recovering from knee injury Robinson (knee) is still recovering from a patella tendon injury he suffered during August, Connor Riley of DawgNation.com reports.

Impact Georgia's head coach Kirby Smart confirmed Tuesday that Robinson is not at 100 percent, despite it being almost one year since he went down hurt. On the plus side, he reportedly "looks good running around" compared to before, which is welcoming news. While the head coach did not confirm Robinson being available for Georgia's upcoming camp, he appears close, which is the best news for an injured player.

JULY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Should be clear for spring ball Robinson (knee) should gain clearance for spring practice, Anthony Dasher of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Robinson suffered a ruptured patella tendon leading up to the 2023 campaign, and there hasn't been much word on his status since then. Fortunately, it seems like things are progressing reasonably well, and the sophomore, who is slated to redshirt and remain a sophomore in 2024, should be ready to roll by the spring and into the fall.
