Georgia wide receiver George Pickens will require surgery on his right knee after suffering an ACL injury, the school announced Wednesday.
Pickens, who suffered the injury during a non-contact drill Tuesday, is expected to make a full recovery, the school said.
"The good news is that the MRI showed it to be an isolated injury with no other structures involved," Georgia coach Kirby Smart said in a statement. "George is a hard worker. I know he will bring the same work ethic to rehab that he shows in practice every day."
Pickens, a junior, had a team-high six touchdown receptions last season while catching 36 passes for 513 yards. He started all eight games in which he played. The 6-foot-3 Alabama native was a Freshman All-SEC selection in 2019.
Georgia is scheduled to open the season on Sept. 4 against Clemson in Charlotte, North Carolina.
