ESPN reported that Dowdell was involved in an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) accident. The outlet confirmed with Smart that Dowdell is receiving care at Shepherd Center in Atlanta, a medical facility specializing in treatment and rehabilitation for spinal cord and brain injuries.

Smart told ESPN that Dowdell was “out of the really tough range, but as far as his complete health and coming all the way back, I don’t know what that looks like in terms of this year.”

Not trying to ignore the seriousness of the accident here, but, that attached article says he spent '23 at Oregon, '24 at Nebraska, '25 at Kentucky and was scheduled for '26 at Georgia. Try and convince me this system isn't broken...........

Just came here to say the same thing. On the bright side, he's pretty much in the best place possible to get the best care possible.

I thought Kirby Smart's comment was pretty encouraging all things considered. Still, I suspect at least his football career is over. Just hope he can go on to lead a normal life. And a lot of people who come out of there do.

Isn't he the running back that got lured out to Oregon by Joe Moorhead?
