Georgia
senior quarterback Aaron Murray will have surgery this week to repair
a torn ACL in his left knee, the school said Sunday.
Murray's
mother, Lauren Murray, announced in a Facebook post that the surgery
would be Tuesday.
Murray
injured the knee during Saturday's 59-17 victory against Kentucky.
"He
was re-evaluated by team physicians Sunday morning," according
to a statement from the school. "Murray experienced minimal
swelling and it was determined to proceed with the surgery this week,
according to UGA Sr. Associate Athletic Director and Director of
Sports Medicine Ron Courson."
Murray
ends his career as the Southeastern Conference's all-time leading
passer with 13,166 yards and 121 touchdowns. He started 52
consecutive games for Georgia and nearly led the Bulldogs to the SEC
title and a shot at the national title in 2012, falling just 5 yards
short against Alabama.
Murray
returned for his senior season, spurning a shot at the NFL draft, but
things didn't work out as expected for the Bulldogs.
Though Murray
performed admirably, completing 64.8 percent of his passes with 26
touchdowns against just nine interceptions, Georgia (7-4) was plagued
by injuries and fell out of the SEC race with consecutive losses to
Missouri and Vanderbilt in mid-October.
The
Bulldogs finish the regular season Saturday at Georgia Tech.
Murray
tweeted his thanks to fans.
