ATLANTA — Georgia’s top receiver this season, Ladd McConkey, was ruled out of the second half of the SEC championship game on Saturday after suffering an apparent leg injury.

A 6-foot redshirt sophomore, McConkey entered the game leading all Georgia receivers in catches (46) and touchdowns (4).

McConkey had five catches for 69 yards and a touchdown against LSU before he sustained the injury in the second quarter.

McConkey went to the medical tent and spent time on the stationary bike before going into the locker room at halftime with Georgia winning, 35-10.

LSU starting quarterback Jayden Daniels was also injured during the game.

He was replaced by backup Garrett Nussmeier, who led a touchdown drive during LSU’s first possession of the second half.
