Georgia’s star tailback Nick Chubb was hurt on the Bulldogs’ first play from scrimmage in Saturday’s loss to Tennessee.

The injury came at the end of a 2-yard gain on a toss sweep around the left end. Chubb landed awkwardly on his left leg as he was knocked out of bounds. Television replays showed Chubb’s left leg giving way and bending backward.

Georgia coach Mark Richt was unsure after the game about the severity of Chubb's injury.

“I just don’t want to give out too much information because I don’t know for sure,” Richt said. “But as of right now we’re still pretty hopeful that it won’t require surgery. But we’re not 100 percent of that yet. We’re going to get some confirmation of that (Sunday).”
