Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Jacob Eason limped to the locker room in the first quarter of Saturday's game against Appalachian State with a left knee injury, according to the Athens Banner-Herald's Marc Weiszer.
The school said Eason was "out for now" after taking a late hit out of bounds, according to DawgNation's Seth Emerson.
This is a difficult setback for the sophomore considering he was looking to build on his successful freshman season. He finished the 2016 campaign with 2,430 passing yards, 16 touchdown throws and eight interceptions and led the Bulldogs to a Liberty Bowl victory.
