ATLANTA — Georgia star tight end Brock Bowers is expected to be sidelined at least a month after sustaining a high ankle sprain that will require surgery. Georgia announced that Bowers will have surgery on his left ankle after he hobbled off the field in the first half of a victory at Vanderbilt this past weekend. Bowers' injury puts a damper on Georgia's bid for a third straight national title, though he could return late in the season. He is expected to undergo what is known as a TightRope procedure, which lessens the recovery time to four to six weeks.
