Richt says Green not yet ready to go full-speed

ATHENS -- Georgia may be without its top receiver for Saturday night's big rivalry game against Georgia Tech.

Georgia coach Mark Richt says sophomore A.J. Green is not yet ready to go full-speed as he recovers from a shoulder injury.

Georgia was without Green and safety Bacarri Rambo for last week's loss to Kentucky. Richt says Green is ``less likely'' than Rambo to return this week but added ``We're not counting him out yet.''

Richt said Tuesday he hopes Rambo, who is returning from a concussion, can practice full-speed on Wednesday.

Richt says Green is still working on regaining his strength and range of motion in his left shoulder. Green leads Georgia with 47 catches for 751 yards and six touchdowns.
