Georgia running back Chauncey Bowens will miss the No. 2 Bulldogs' game against No. 6 Alabama on Saturday, according to ESPN.
Bowens has led Georgia with six rushing touchdowns through five games this season, making his absence notable for a matchup between two top-ten ranked teams. The report did not specify the reason for his absence, such as whether it is due to injury or another cause.
Georgia is expected to get a boost elsewhere in its backfield, as running back Nate Frazier is poised to return after missing most of the past two games, according to the report. Details about the nature of Frazier's prior absence were not included in available reporting.
The game pits two of the country's top college football programs against each other, with both Georgia and Alabama carrying top-six national rankings into the contest. Running back production is often a key factor in matchups between physical, run-oriented programs like Georgia and Alabama, making the health of each team's backfield a storyline heading into the game.
No further details on Georgia's broader game plan or how the coaching staff intends to redistribute Bowens's workload were available in the report.
