Georgia WR Justin Scott-Wesley doubtful to play in 2015

It looks like Georgia wide receiver Justin Scott-Wesley could miss the entire season because of a knee injury.

Scott-Wesley suffered the knee injury in practice on August 17. Georgia coach Mark Richt said Wednesday that Scott-Wesley is doubtful to play in 2015.

It's Scott-Wesley's third knee injury of his career. Here's the video of what happened two weeks ago via the Athens Banner-Herald:

He had surgery for a meniscus injury in July and didn't play much in 2014 (3 catches for 52 yards). The senior has 25 career catches and four touchdowns. Richt hasn't said what specifically happened to Scott-Wesley's knee, though did say after the injury that he was concerned that the receiver wouldn't be able to play for a while.

His injury leaves Malcolm Mitchell as the Bulldogs' most experienced receiver and Mitchell has had knee injuries of his own. He was the receiver who tore his ACL celebrating a touchdown against Clemson in 2013. Mitchell had 248 yards receiving in 2014. In Scott-Wesley's absence, Georgia's second-leading returning wide receiver is Isaiah McKenzie, who had 6 catches for 67 yards in 2014.
