It appears that Georgia Tech’s offensive line is close to healthy for Saturday’s game against Duke at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

Coach Paul Johnson said during Wednesday’s ACC teleconference that it may be the first time in a long time that all the linemen may be available.

Tackle Trey Klock has missed several games, and other linemen have missed a game or plays because of injuries.

Johnson said the status of the players will be clarified when the injury report is released on Thursday.

Partially because of the injuries, Tech started two freshmen, Jahaziel Lee and Parker Braun , on the left side of the line in the win against Georgia Southern. They are again listed as starters on the depth chart ahead of the game against Blue Devils.
