Georgia quarterback Carson Beck injured his right elbow when he was hit while throwing in Saturday’s SEC championship game against Texas and is exploring treatment options with doctors, the school said Monday.

The university’s statement said there was no timetable for Beck’s potential return.

Beck was hurt while attempting to throw on the final play of the first half of Georgia’s 22-19 overtime win. He was seen icing his elbow on the sideline during the second half.

Seldom-used sophomore quarterback Gunner Stockton came off the bench to lead the Bulldogs to their third SEC title under Smart.

In addition to Beck, the Bulldogs said punter Brett Thorson was also injured in Saturday’s victory. A finalist for the Ray Guy Award, Thorson suffered a knee injury to his non-kicking leg that will require season-ending surgery.

“Carson and Brett are both fierce competitors and extremely hard workers,” coach Kirby Smart said in a statement. “I’m confident they will attack their rehab with the same determination they exhibit in their daily habits. We will be here to support them every step of the way.”

Georgia is the No. 2 seed in the CFP and will receive a first-round bye. The Bulldogs will play the winner of the Dec. 20 first-round game between No. 7 Notre Dame and No. 10 Indiana (8 p.m. ET/ABC, ESPN, ESPN+) in a CFP quarterfinals at the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on New Year’s Day (8:45 p.m. ET/ESPN)

Beck, a senior from Jacksonville, Florida, was considered a potential No. 1 pick in next year’s NFL draft before the season. He had an inconsistent campaign, however, throwing three interceptions in games against Alabama, Texas and Florida. He threw nine interceptions in a four-game stretch from mid-October to early November.
