Tech’s Perkins returning to full strength
Considering that Georgia Tech is heading into the 12th game of the season, the Yellow Jackets are in pretty good shape from an injury standpoint.
“All good,” coach Paul Johnson said Monday, following his team’s first practice of Georgia week. “We’re expecting everybody to play.”
That includes nose tackle Shawn Green, who missed the Clemson game with a knee injury. Johnson said that Green “had a good day” at Monday’s practice, conducted in full pads. Another is A-back Charles Perkins, who played through the Clemson game with a knee injury that forced him out of the Virginia and N.C. State games.
“I feel great,” Perkins said. “I wasn’t full speed against Clemson, but I think I’m back to full strength now.”
