According to Seth Emerson of The Macon Telegraph, freshman Sony Michel is questionable for Saturday's clash with Auburn after suffering an ankle injury:

After missing four contests with a broken shoulder blade, Michel returned to action last week against Kentucky. He rushed for 84 yards and a score on 16 totes, and he seemingly added another dimension to Georgia's offense.

As skilled as he is, though, the Bulldogs should be fine if he can't play this weekend. Not only is fellow freshman Nick Chubb just 105 yards short of 1,000 on the ground, but superstar Todd Gurley is also set to return from suspension, per George Schroeder of USA Today:

Many consider Gurley to be the best back in college football, while Chubb has also looked the part in his absence. Having Michel on the field as well can't hurt, but Georgia might be wise to play it safe due to Gurley's imminent return.
