Georgia WR Colbie Young Out Indefinitely With Leg Fracture

Georgia wide receiver Colbie Young will be out indefinitely after fracturing his leg in last Saturday's 43-35 victory against Ole Miss, head coach Kirby Smart revealed this week.

Smart did not give a timeline for Young's return this season. Per ESPN:

"Expectations of him, first and foremost, are to take care of his foot, leg [and] his ankle," Smart said Tuesday. "It's a part of football. I reassured him that his work that he put in was noticed, and that's what he can control now. He has to control getting healthy."

Young, a former transfer from Miami, is the fifth-ranked Bulldogs' second-leading receiver with 23 catches for 336 yards and one touchdown. He was injured while making a 36-yard catch on the third play from scrimmage against Ole Miss.

"The physicality, the ownership, the accountability, the willingness to play positions, and then it was slowly coming out in the season with his play," Smart said. "We found that he was one of the hardest guys to tackle, so his touches went up. He was the best point-of-attack blocker. He was the best vertical guy, and it's unfortunate that it happens."
