Though not considered a serious injury, the backup defensive end will be out for at least four to six weeks. If all goes well, the star defensive end will be up and ready by the second week of preseason camp.
Lott saw limited action last season making seven tackles in three games. According to the UGA depth chart, Lott is listed as DeAngelo Tyson’s backup.
