The Georgia Bulldogs will be down another wide receiver against the Florida Gators.

Sophomore wide receiver Anthony Evans is out for the Florida game after a recent update to the SEC football injury report. It is unclear what Evans' injury is. Evans is Georgia's top kickoff and punt returner.

The 5-foot-11, 170-pound receiver has nine receptions for 88 yards this season. Evans also has one run for 52 yards, six kickoff returns for 105 yards and 14 punt returns for 118 yards. Georgia will miss Evans' versatility.

No other Bulldog has returned a punt or kickoff this season, so it is unclear who will step in for Evans. Georgia may turn to Dillon Bell on kickoffs. Joenel Aguero returned one punt in 2023, so he could be Georgia's top punt returning option in 2024 with Evans out. Sacovie White is another name to watch at punt returner.

Georgia is already without wide receiver Colbie Young, who is suspended indefinitely.
