ATHENS — Georgia graduate transfer receiver Lawrence Cager suffered a “serious” ankle injury in Wednesday’s practice that could end his season, a person with knowledge of the situation told DawgNation.

Cager suffered a separated shoulder earlier this season and has been playing through that injury, although he missed the Texas A&M game Saturday.

Cager, who has not been taking any hits in practices, was expected to be held out of the No. 4-ranked Bulldogs’ game at noon Saturday against Georgia Tech.

The ankle injury Cager suffered Wednesday is expected to keep him out of the next two games -- against the Yellow Jackets and the SEC Championship game against LSU on Dec. 7, at a minimum.

Georgia has yet to release any information on the injury.

Coach Kirby Smart has closed practices the past three weeks.
