ATHENS, Ga. -- Tyler Simmons exited early in Georgia's 55-0 win over Arkansas State on Saturday and Demetris Robertson didn't play at all, leaving the Bulldogs with just six scholarship receivers to finish out the contest. But when Kirby Smart spoke to reporters afterward, he indicated that neither player is dealing with anything serious or long-term.

"I'm not sure on Tyler," Smart said. "We'll have to see on Monday. We think he's going to be okay. He bumped his shoulder on the sideline. I couldn't see it from where I was but how the crowd responded, it looked like it was like it was late or something. I think he's going to be fine. I think he could have played if he had to have."

Robertson was held out with "nagging injuries" according to Smart.

That's good news for the Bulldogs seeing as how both wideouts play multiple roles. In addition to starting all three of UGA's games this season at wideout, Simmons has been the Bulldogs primary punt returner. He's one of the Bulldogs' most physical blockers on the perimeter and provides the group with game-breaking speed.

Prior to his injury on Saturday, Simmons had two catches for 21 yards, one rush for seven yards, and one punt return for 17 yards. The two receptions were Simmons' first two of the season and he now has three carries for 17 yards. As a punt returner, Simmons now has 7 returns for 137 yards. The McEachern High School product (Powder Springs, Ga.) was UGA's leading returning receiver from the wideout position coming into the year. He had nine catches last year and 14 in his career prior to the start of the season.

Robertson had gotten off to a fast start in 2019 after not catching a pass a year ago. He had hauled in four catches for 44 yards and two scores over the first two weeks and added a pair of carries for 29 yards. He has also been a valuable member of Georgia's punt return team as one of the guys responsible for holding up the opposing team's gunner. Smart praised both Robertson and Matt Landers for their showing in the season opener against Vanderbilt when the Bulldogs were able to pile up 61 yards on four returns.

Simmons and Robertson aren't the only two Bulldog pass catchers dealing with injuries. A pair of redshirt freshmen, Kearis Jackson and Tommy Bush, were held out of Saturday's game. Jackson suffered a broken hand against Vanderbilt and has been sporting a large club on his left hand in practice. Bush hasn't been able to go the past couple of weeks with a sports hernia/groin issue.

Those ailments have Smart a little concerned about his overall depth at the position.

"We’re thin at wideout," Smart said. "It’s tough because guys are going down.”
