Inside linebacker Tim Kimbrough is suspended for the game for “matters that have been handled internally,” interim head coach Bryan McClendon said.

He couldn’t say for sure the length of Kimbrough’s suspension.

“Right now it’s just this game,” McClendon said after practice Monday. “Kind of just how I told him, anything beyond this game is up for coach (Kirby) Smart.”

Kimbrough is Georgia’s third leading tackler with 67 and is tied for third on the team in tackles for loss with 5 ½.
