Georgia coach Kirby Smart said Xzavier McLeod was not with the team. The player identified as T-Green was still being evaluated for possible availability as Arkansas week progressed. The supplied transcript gives no injury diagnosis, firm return date or clearance for either player, so those details remain unresolved.

Smart said Georgia does not build its offense around designed runs for Ryan Puglisi. Whether the quarterback runs can instead be dictated by the defense and game situation. That distinction argues against treating limited early rushing as a promised permanent restriction or assuming a new quarterback-run package.

Smart highlighted receiving ability and pass protection as third-down strengths of Georgia's experienced backs, citing repeated work on blitz pickup and catching out of the backfield. This is an assessment of the veteran group's preparation, not an announcement of a new third-down starter or a guaranteed snap distribution.
