Georgia running back Dante Dowdell is hospitalized with what head coach Kirby Smart described Tuesday as "serious injuries" due to an accident while riding an ATV.
Smart declined to reveal the nature of Dowdell's injuries while speaking at SEC media days in Tampa, Florida. Per ESPN, Smart said that Dowdell is receiving treatment at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, a hospital that specializes in spinal cord and brain injury rehabilitation.
"He's injured," Smart said, per ESPN. "We don't know when his return will be. I don't know the specifics of it, to be honest with you. It was a recreational vehicle, and he had some serious injuries."
Smart told reporters that Dowdell had been in two hospitals since the accident and that the program has cautious expectations that he'll make a "full recovery."
"We expect a full recovery, but the outlook right now is we're waiting to see," Smart said, per On3. "We'll go day to day with him and see.
