Georgia’s Darnell Washington, Tykee Smith injured in practice

Georgia could be without two likely starters in tight end Darnell Washington and defensive back Tykee Smith for the season opener against Clemson after each suffered foot injuries. Both suffered the injuries in Tuesday’s practice.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart issued a statement: “Darnell Washington and Tykee Smith sustained foot injuries during practice this week. They are both undergoing treatment and have an excellent prognosis. Their status is day to day.”

Washington is in a walking boot, and Smith suffered a sprained ankle, according to a DawgNation report.

No. 5 Georgia is scheduled to play against No. 3 Clemson on Sept. 4 in Charlotte to open the season.

The team is scheduled to practice Thursday with media availability to follow. Smart is not scheduled to address the media until Saturday.

Smith, a transfer from West Virginia, was third-team All American last season. Washington played 10 games, including seven starts, for Georgia last season.
