Smart optimistic about status of Andrew Thomas, Terry Godwin

Georgia coach Kirby Smart expected offensive tackle Andrew Thomas to be more active Monday ahead of Saturday’s matchup at Missouri.

Smart said Thomas, who suffered an ankle injury in Georgia’s win over South Carolina, might not practice Monday, but hopefully, the sophomore offensive tackle would get back working with the team.

"(Thomas has) been running," Smart said. "He's been moving. I don't know that he'll be able to practice today, but he's probably going to be rehabbing and be out there with us. Hopefully, we can get him back."
Smart also provided an update on Terry Godwin, saying the senior receiver suffered a contusion, but would likely practice Monday.
"Terry is OK," Smart said. "Terry should practice today. He does have a contusion. But I think he'll be able to go today."

In regard to a question asked about the status of running back D’Andre Swift, Smart said the Bulldogs should be “100 percent” at the running back position on Saturday.

Georgia faces Missouri at noon Saturday (ESPN; 95.5 FM and WSB 750 AM) at Faurot Field in Columbia, Mo.
