AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn receiver D'haquille Williams suffered a sprained ligament in right knee against Texas A&M and will miss the Georgia game, according to a source close to the situation.

Williams sprained the medial collateral ligament and suffered a bruised right knee when he was hit low by Texas A&M defensive back De'Vante Harris early in the second quarter of the Tigers' 41-38 loss to the Aggies, the source told AL.com.

A return could come as soon as the Tigers' non-conference game against Samford on Nov. 22, according to the source, but he will likely remain questionable following the Georgia game.

An MRI scan revealed Sunday morning that Williams did not tear the ligament, according to the source.

Auburn has not yet made an announcement. Coach Gus Malzahn did not yet know the extent of the injury immediately following the game Saturday night.

Williams had one catch for 11 yards against the Aggies. The first-year player out of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College has 38 catches for 609 yards and five touchdowns.

Dr. James Andrews and trainers examined Williams on the sideline, where he remained until he left for the locker room with the help of crutches shortly before halftime. He returned to the sideline on crutches to watch the end of the Tigers' loss.

Auburn travels to Georgia on Saturday. A kickoff time has not yet been announced.
