The No. 12 Georgia Bulldogs will be without leading rusher Trevor Etienne for Saturday's showdown against the No. 7 Tennessee Volunteers.
Etienne was downgraded from questionable to out on Thursday night's SEC availability report.
Etienne left Georgia's win over Florida with an upper-body injury on Nov. 2 and did not return. He played limited snaps in last week's 28-10 loss at Ole Miss, carrying the ball six times for 24 yards. Etienne leads Georgia with 477 rushing yards and seven touchdowns this season.
The loss is another blow to Georgia's banged-up backfield. Cash Jones is also listed as questionable while Branson Robinson remains out after missing the past three games with a knee injury.
That leaves true freshman Nate Frazier as the only healthy Bulldogs running back who has played meaningful snaps this year. Frazier is second on the team with 333 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
