Marshall Long’s injured knee has progressed to the point where he will be a participant in spring practice.
In terms of how much Long will be able to participate, that remains to be seen.
“He’s not cleared to kick in 11-on-11 situations,” head coach Kirby Smart said. “We think by the end of spring he’ll be punting but we don’t know if he’ll be punting in a competitive environment.”
Long dislocated his kneecap during a practice last season that required surgery. Long sustained his injury before Georgia faced Auburn and missed the final four games of the 2016 season.
