Carson Beck left the SEC title game on Saturday after what Kirby Smart said was a hand injury.
With one second left in the first half, Beck was looking to throw deep to try to get Georgia their first lead of the game.
However, he got hit as he threw, and his arm looked to stop hard.
Beck was quickly tended to by trainers and coaches, and he was slow to get off. He jogged off the field under his own power, but it was clear something wasn’t right.
In speaking with ESPN just as the half ended, Smart said that the injury would likely not have been enough to keep him out of the game – alas, Georgia is now rocking with Gunner Stockton. Smart then told ESPN at the start of the half that Beck would not be able to return.

With Beck under center, it was not a pretty sight for the Bulldogs, who managed just a field goal in the first half.
But on the bright side, Texas’ offense, led by Quinn Ewers, didn’t fare much better – they put two balls through the goalposts, and it was a 6-3 lead for the Longhorns at half.
With a loss, it would be the first time Georgia will have lost three games since the 2018 season – this year marked the first time they had lost to someone besides Alabama since 2020, when they lost to Ole Miss in Oxford.
Beck is slated to be an early selection in the NFL Draft in April.
