Georgia Tech QB Josh Nesbitt is expected to miss 6 weeks after undergoing ankle surgery earlier this week. Unfortunately for Nesbitt, he likely will not make a full recovery in time for Tech’s spring practices which begins on March 29th. Nesbitt passed for 1,000 yards and rushed for another 1,000 during Georgia Tech’s ACC championship run last season.
The Georgia Tech coaching staff have to be a little disappointed with this news as they were planning on spending the spring working on Nesbitt’s passing. While no one is questioning his scrambling abilities, his erratic passing game last season left a little to be desired.
Barring any medical setbacks, Nesbitt should be at full strength in time for fall workouts. The Yellow Jackets will definitely need his services if they are to make a repeat run at winning the conference in 2010.
