Justin Scott-Wesley, Georgia WR, Reportedly Retiring Due to Injuries

Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Justin Scott-Wesley has been plagued by injuries over the past two seasons, and after the fifth-year senior sustained a right knee injury in practice Aug. 17, his collegiate playing career appears to be over.

According to the Athens Banner-Herald's Marc Weiszer, Scott-Wesley told his high school coach "he was done playing," after re-injuring his right knee. 

On Sept. 2, Georgia head coach Mark Richt said it's unlikely Scott-Wesley plays this season, via Weiszer.

The wideout appeared in just five games during the 2013 season due to a torn ACL. Last year, Scott-Wesley was limited as he battled an ankle injury, which left him with a grand total of three receptions for 52 yards and a score. He also underwent surgery for a torn meniscus back in July, per the Athens Banner-Herald's Fletcher Page.  

Scott-Wesley posted a photo on Instagram Tuesday afternoon indicating he could be evolving into a coach now that his playing career has been cast in doubt: 

Over the course of his career in Athens, Scott-Wesley racked up 25 catches for 498 yards and four touchdowns, with a career-long reception of 85 yards during the 2013 campaign.

Sans Scott-Wesley, Georgia will turn to senior Malcolm Mitchell and sophomore Isaiah McKenzie as its primary playmakers on the outside. McKenzie is still a work in progress, though, as he notched just six catches for 67 yards as a freshman while primarily serving as a punt and kick returner.
