Georgia quarterback Carson Beck sustained an injury to his ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing elbow during the SEC championship game, On3 reported Monday.
Beck is getting second opinions and there is no timetable for his return, according to the report.
Beck was injured on the final play of the first half and was ruled out for the second half. However, he returned to hand the ball off to running back Trevor Etienne for the game-winning touchdown in overtime to defeat Texas after his replacement, Gunner Stockton, was injured on a big hit.
Texas’ Trey Moore forced a fumble on Beck’s Hail Mary attempt at the end of the first half. Beck remained motionless on the field for a short time before joining the team in the locker room.
Second-seeded Georgia is set to face the winner of No. 7 Notre Dame and No. 10 Indiana on Jan. 1 in the Sugar Bowl, the quarterfinal round of the College Football Playoff.
Beck has thrown for 3,485 yards and a career-high 28 touchdowns against 12 interceptions this season. He was 7-for-13 for just 56 yards prior to getting injured.
