UPDATED: Murray diagnosed by team doctors with ankle sprain

By ZACH DILLARD on February 21, 2011

Official Update: Quarterback Aaron Murray was diagnosed with an ankle sprain Monday by Georgia Director of Sports Medicine Ron Courson.

Murray suffered the injury playing a game of pick-up soccer game on the University campus.

The severity of the injury was not released by Georgia Sports Communications, but tests were taken and X-rays were negative. Courson said Murray will undergo rehabilitation under the supervision of the sports medicine department and is expected to return in time for spring practice.

The official announcement was released at 5 p.m. Monday afternoon.

Update: Official word on the injury is set to be released by Georgia later today after Murray is checked out by the team’s medical staff.

Georgia starting quarterback Aaron Murray has suffered an ankle injury, though the severity of the injury has not been officially announced yet.

Team sources say Murray’s right ankle is broken in two places, but associate athletic director Claude Felton was not available to confirm or deny the report.

Team sources say that Murray broke the ankle participating in an activity with teammates and friends on Saturday afternoon. Murray was rushed to team doctors after suffering the injury.

Murray was seen using crutches around campus Monday.

Murray was a candidate for SEC freshman of the year after an excellent showing in his first year at the helm of the Bulldogs’ offense. He accumulated 3,049 passing yards and 24 touchdowns in the regular season, while throwing just six interceptions.

He is slated to be the starter at quarterback again next season.

If the ankle is broken, it would likely hold Murray out of spring practice, creating another setback for a program looking to bounce back from a disappointing 6-7 season.

Behind Murray on the depth chart are sophomore Hutson Mason and true freshman Christian LeMay, each of whom have little to no experience in collegiate competition.

    Maybe you guys should check your sources before reporting stuff like this. Felton and other sources inside the dept are denying this report and saying that it isn’t nearly as serious as you are reporting. This would not be the first time the Red and Black jumped on a story too early only to be proven wrong in time. Perhaps seeing Murray on crutches around campus doesn’t qualify as “a source” after all.

    AMEN!

    Get your facts straight…680 in ATL saying the R & B screwed up here.
    Dean Legge of scout.com saying that it is nothing but a sprain. Now thats a source.

    Geez!

    You’re the only one reporting this! NAME your sources! You sure they weren’t referring to his injury in High School?

  • Dawgoneit

    Not jumping to anyone’s defense, but no word has been released by UGA yet. The AJC has been reporting Murray has been with doctors since 1. 3 hours? For a little sprian?
