A Georgia wide receiver who didn’t make the trip to Missouri last weekend could be back for Saturday’s game at Ole Miss.
Freshman Riley Ridley is practicing in a regular jersey after sustaining a broken bone in his right hand working on the punt team against Nicholls State on Sept. 10. Ridley underwent surgery to have screws inserted in the thumb, coach Kirby Smart said after practice Tuesday.
“I’m trying to figure out how comfortable he is catching the ball and how he is on special teams,” Smart said. “As we figure that out, we’ll figure out whether or not he’s going to play this week.

Ridley has played in two games without a catch.
