Mark Fox reveals extent of Turtle Jackson's injury, availability for Tennessee game

Georgia junior guard Turtle Jackson is expected to play in Saturday's game against No. 18 Tennessee.

Jackson strained his knee late during Georgia's 72-69 overtime win over Florida on the road. After forward Yante Maten tied the game up at 59 with a 3-pointer in regulation, Jackson ran to get back on defense. He appeared to slip on the court and fell down awkwardly. Georgia trainers tended to Jackson on the floor before helping him off.

Jackson was unable to play in the overtime period.

"Turtle obviously wasn't allowed to finish the game the other night," Fox said.
