Lawrence Cager out for Georgia Tech, SEC Championship games

Earlier this week, news broke that UGA wide receiver Lawrence Cager injured his ankle in practice. The extent of the injury was unknown, but news has slowly been trickling out.

On Friday, Lawrence Cager himself posted a message to his Instagram account that indicates he will be out for both the Georgia Tech game and the SEC Championship Game against LSU (h/t @RadiNabulsi).

The energy in Sanford Stadium is undoubtedly electric. I wish it didn’t come to an end like this and if I could go back in time to the beginning and do it again, there isn’t another school I would rather choose. Thank you Dawg Nation for all the great moments this past year. My boys know that we going get that SEC Champ and I’m still with them even if I’m not on the field. Big Dawgs always going to shake back! #GoDawgs
