Georgia football has adjusted to Xzavier McLeod leaving the program for weeks, coach Kirby Smart said, because the defensive lineman only practiced a couple of times this preseason.
Smart revealed that timeline on Wednesday Sept. 2 ahead of the Bulldogs season opener on Saturday against Tennessee State.
He said McLeod made the decision to stop playing football.
"Xzavier hasn't been with us since the second practice," Smart said. "All the news of Xzavier, everybody's acting like it's something newly released or something. I think he practiced once or twice because he decided to give it up. He just didn't want to play football anymore. Certainly respect that."
McLeod will graduate after this semester, Smart said.
