Keith Marshall is back.

OK, so he's not quite fully-recovered from a hamstring injury, and his status for Saturday's spring game is uncertain. But still. To hear of the talented Georgia running back's return to the practice field on Tuesday was a good start.

Marshall has been bitten by the injury bug too often the past two seasons. A torn ACL limited him to five games in 2013. An ankle injury and lingering pain in his surgically-repaired knee then limited him to three games last season.

It's hard to fathom that Marshall is entering his senior year. It doesn't feel like that long ago when the former blue-chip prospect played in 14 games, rushing for 759 yards and eight touchdowns. The combo of he and Todd Gurley was full of potential.

But now that Gurley is off to the NFL, it will be interesting to see whether Marshall can get healthy enough to cash in on his considerable talent.

"I wouldn't say 100 percent, but he did get reps," coach Mark Richt said of Marshall, according to Seth Emerson of The Macon Telegraph. "He's got more work than I thought he would. I didn't think he'd practice, but he's got a lot more than I expected. Will it be enough to go full-speed on Saturday, I don't know."

Here's more injury-related news from The Telegraph:

"After knee surgery in 2013, when he was a freshman, Reggie Wilkerson is finally seeing action on first team. Wilkerson was at the star position in last Saturday’s scrimmage, which doesn’t mean he’ll be starting this season, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Georgia denied media request to speak to Wilkerson about his spring, and his journey back from ACL surgery. Richt said Wilkerson was one of many defensive backs who worked hard this spring.

‘Part of it is trying to find the right combination. Part of it is guys gaining experience and learning what to do, and putting themselves in position to get quality reps so coaches can make some decisions,’ Richt said. ‘I think he’s had a solid spring so far. ... He’s one of many who is busting his tail, trying to prove he deserves some snaps in the season, and can help us in special [teams] as well.’

Safety Quincy Mauger, however was a bit more bullish on Wilkerson.

‘This year is kind of a breakout year for him,’ Mauger said. ‘I know he’s been working his butt off, day in and day out. And you should expect some big things from him.’”
