Roquan Smith will miss rest of NFL season with injury

Former UGA star Roquan Smith will miss the rest of the NFL season with an injury.

The Chicago Bears announced that Smith was placed on the IR (injured reserve) with a torn pectoral muscle.

Smith, in his second year out of UGA, was a leader on the dominant Bears defense. For the season, Smith registered 101 tackles and 2 sacks.

At UGA, Smith was arguably the best linebacker in school history, becoming the first Bulldogs player to win the Butkus Award in 2017.

On Monday, Smith posted a picture from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in downtown Atlanta with the caption “Always good to be back home.”
