ESPN: Mykel Williams ‘going to try to play’ after suffering ankle injury vs. Clemson
Just before Clemson got on the board with a field goal against Georgia on Saturday, Bulldogs fans held their collective breath. Mykel Williams left the field after a low block from Tigers running back Phil Mafah, creating concern about an injury.
It was later deemed an ankle injury, according to ESPN’s Molly McGrath. Williams also said he plans to play through it, but he’ll be under a close watch from the UGA staff.
“Georgia star defensive player Mykel Williams had his left ankle wrapped,” McGrath said on the ABC broadcast. “He was in visible discomfort when he jogged and I can tell he’s in pain. He was talking to teammates about that Mafah block, and that’s what happened and hurt his left ankle. But I’m told he’s going to try to play, but they’re going to monitor it closely, guys.”
Williams had a strong game through the first three quarters of Saturday’s season opener. He had two tackles – both for loss – as the Georgia defense kept Clemson out of the end zone. The third-quarter field goal was the first time the Tigers scored.
