Almost two weeks into fall practice and with two-and-a-half to go before Georgia's first game, injuries have forced several Bulldogs to miss significant practice time, others to miss a couple days and two players to miss the entire season.

So far though, head coach Mark Richt said he is pleased his team has remained mostly healthy.

Here are key players still not able to fully participate after Tuesday’s practice:

Sean Bailey, WR, Senior

Richt has previously said Bailey will likely receive a medical redshirt for the 2006 season after tearing the Anterior Cruciate Ligament in his right knee late last year. One of Georgia’s most experienced receivers, he started all but one game last season. Bailey has participated in some workouts wearing a no-contact jersey, serving mainly as a mentor to younger Bulldog receivers. Kenneth Harris is listed as the starting flanker, but the position is wide open with A.J. Bryant and Mikey Henderson also contending for the starting role.

Antavious Coates, FS, Redshirt Freshman

For the second straight season, Coates won’t make it on the field for a game. He tore the ACL in his right knee earlier this fall in practice after missing all of last season with tearing his left ACL during his final high school season. The third-string free safety was expected to be ready by the fall.

Darius Dewberry, LB, Freshman

Dewberry pulled a muscle and Richt said the pull was “fairly significant.” He is out for at least a week and might not be able to return for two weeks. Dewberry had practiced with the second-team and Richt said he was the furthest along among the young linebackers. He will likely see playing time, Richt said.

Dannell Ellerbe, LB, Redshirt Sophomore

Ellerbe, already suspended for the first three games of season, tweaked his shoulder and has missed the past few practices. When Ellerbe is eligible to return for the Colorado game, he will provide depth at the linebacker position. He entered fall as the backup weakside linebacker, but the linebacker positioning has not been finalized yet.

Marquis Elmore, DT, Senior

Elmore’s knee was scoped Tuesday and that will keep him out for a week to 10 days. With starter Ray Gant also out, that leaves the Bulldogs with two senior leaders out at one of the defensive tackle spots. Dale Dixson is listed with the second unit at this spot and is practicing.

Ray Gant, DT, Senior

An injured shoulder has kept Gant out of many of the fall workouts, but he recently started weightlifting to regain strength in the shoulder. Richt said Gant is not quite ready to begin practice. The defensive line is one of Georgia’s deepest areas, and Gant’s backup, Dale Dixson, is also an experienced senior.

T.J. Gartrell, WR, Junior

Gartrell is out for the season after tearing the patella tendon in his knee in practice last week. Gartrell, who had surgery Monday, caught three passes last season, averaging about 25 yards a catch and has a total of four career receptions. Entering fall practice, he was listed as the fourth-string split end, a position sophomore Mohamed Massaquoi has locked up. The injury does allow freshman Kris Durham to play more, and Richt praised the way the tall receiver has put on weight and worked to learn the offense since entering school in the spring.

Mikey Henderson, WR, Junior

The converted defensive back said all the running he has done as a receiver is catching up to him and he sat out of practice Tuesday with a hamstring tweak. He had also missed some drills earlier. One of Georgia’s fastest players, he does not expect to miss much time. He is in a fight with a couple other receivers for the starting flanker spot.

Jarvis Jackson, LB, Senior

Jackson is back practicing with the help of an orthotic in his shoe after injuring his foot and sitting out a few practices. Jackson, listed at middle linebacker, should play a very important role this year coming of a good season where he led the team in tackles several games.

Jeremy Lomax, DE, Redshirt Sophomore

Listed as the third string behind the SEC preseason defensive player of the year and the country’s top defensive end according to The Sporting News – Quentin Moses – Lomax is out with a groin and hip flexor injury and rode a bike at practice Tuesday. Richt said the injury was not significant. With Moses and Charles Johnson starting at the other defensive end position, this is likely Georgia’s strongest position.

Zeb McKinzey, OG, Junior

McKinzey, much like Gant, has not practiced in a while and is not expected to be back on the field that soon. Out with a shoulder injury, he would provide much-needed depth on an offensive line that has little experience beyond the starters.

Michael Moore, WR, Redshirt Freshman

Moore was held out of parts of practice Tuesday with a sore knee. This adds to the Bulldog flankers suffering from injury or soreness, but Moore should not be out for long.

Des Williams, FB, Junior

Williams, who missed all of last season with a torn pectoral muscle, recently suffered a meniscal tear in his right knee and will be out for a week to 10 days after getting the knee scoped Tuesday. Williams was listed second with junior Jason Johnson at fullback on the depth chart, and Richt said he has been pleased with how Johnson is progressing at fullback after making the move from tailback. Starter Brannan Southerland has missed a little time in camp, but has returned.

Tony Wilson, WR, Freshman

A newcomer that likely won’t see the field this year, Wilson suffered a shoulder pointer Tuesday and Richt said he hoped he would be out for only a few days.

Also backup offensive linemen Ian Smith (Redshirt freshman) and John Miller (Freshman) and walk-on Charles Krauth were also in no-contact jerseys Tuesday.
