Per a from Jake Rowe of DawgsHQ, Georgia linebacker Marvin Jones Jr. will be sidelined for spring practice after undergoing shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum.

Jones was a five-star member of Georgia’s 2022 recruiting class out of American Heritage High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was the nation’s 24th-ranked player and third-ranked edge, per 247Sports.

Jones played his freshman season with a shoulder brace, and he registered four tackles and a sack.

He is likely to have a bigger role on Georgia’s 2023 defense following the departures of outside linebackers Nolan Smith and Robert Beal to the NFL.

Jones is expected to be back by the start of the 2023 season.
