Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Smael Mondon, a projected starter, saw limited snaps in the season opener against UT Martin. Mondon showcased his speed and recorded one tackle, but is working his way back from a foot injury.

Kirby Smart updated Mondon’s status to the media.

He looks good out there and we expect him to be able to play. He was cleared to go this week and it was one of those we were going to be safe as we could.

Mondon is close to returning to 100%. He is a key player for the Georgia defense, so it makes sense that the coaching staff did not want to rush him back.
