Standout Georgia defensive lineman Mykel Williams is week-to-week with a Grade 2 left ankle sprain, coach Kirby Smart announced on Monday.

The 6-foot-5, 265-pound junior is questionable for Saturday's home game against FCS opponent Tennessee Tech "but it's not long term," Smart said.

Williams was injured by a low block from Clemson running back Phil Mafah midway through the third quarter in the Bulldogs' 34-3 victory on Saturday in Atlanta. He went to the locker room and returned in a walking boot.

Mafah was flagged for an illegal block on the play. Williams had two tackles for loss in the game.

Williams is regarded as a potential top-five pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He was a freshman All-American in 2022 and a second-team All-SEC selection in 2023.
