Multiple Georgia Tech key players on injury report ahead of Duke matchup

Georgia Tech football will again be without multiple starters because of injuries Saturday against Duke at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

The Yellow Jackets will host the Blue Devils with a depleted defense. Defensive linemen Jordan Walker, Noah Carter, AJ Hoffler and Shymeik Jones, and cornerback Daiquan White are among those listed as out in the ACC availability report released Wednesday.

Starting offensive lineman Ethan Mackenny and running back Malachi Hosley are also listed as out.

Cornerback Jaylen Mbakwe, who has not played since he was taken off the field on a stretcher against Tennessee, did not appear on the availability report and is expected to play Saturday after missing two games. Safety Savion Riley, who missed the Stanford game because of an injury but remains the team leader in solo tackles, also did not appear on the report.

Senior linebacker and captain Kyle Efford, who did not play at Stanford, and defensive tackle Vincent Carroll-Jackson are marked as probable.

Jameson Riggs and Markell Samuel, who have each started games on the offensive line, are among those listed as questionable.

Tech coach Brent Key did not reveal the nature of the injuries or recovery timelines when asked earlier this week, before the availability report was released.
