Georgia QB Carson Beck Likely Out for CFP Quarterfinal Due to Elbow Injury

Backup Gunner Stockton is expected to start as Beck explores surgery options, leaving his season and NFL Draft plans uncertain.

Carson Beck, Georgia's starting quarterback, is unlikely to play in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal after suffering a UCL injury in his throwing elbow during the SEC Championship game against Texas.
Beck has not practiced with the team since the injury and is reportedly considering surgery, with no definitive timeline for his recovery or return to play this season.
Backup quarterback Gunner Stockton, who led Georgia to a 22-19 overtime win over Texas in the SEC Championship, is set to make his first career start in the Sugar Bowl on January 1.
Georgia will face the winner of Notre Dame and Indiana in the CFP quarterfinal, with Stockton's athleticism and adaptability being key to the Bulldogs' offensive adjustments.
Beck's injury also raises questions about his NFL Draft prospects, as he was previously projected as a potential first-round pick but now faces an uncertain future.
