It’s not his look of choice, but it beats standing on the sideline.

Georgia outside linebacker Davin Bellamy broke a bone in his left hand during the first half of the Sept. 30 contest at Tennessee. He was fitted at halftime with a bulky “club” cast that he wore for the rest of the 41-0 victory over the Volunteers as well as last week’s 45-14 win at Vanderbilt.

This week, Bellamy told reporters the club weighs two or three pounds, adding, “It’s like I’ve got a dumbbell on my arm the whole time.”

The 6-foot-5, 240-pound senior from the Atlanta suburb of Chamblee had three tackles in last week’s defeat of the Commodores, combining on a tackle for loss with junior inside linebacker Roquan Smith. It was by no means Bellamy’s best game, but, again, it beats sitting out.

“I think it frustrates him at times,” second-year Georgia coach Kirby Smart said in a news conference after Tuesday’s practice. “He can’t rip off and tear off like he wants to. I think he’s gotten better with it this week. It was more frustrating for him last week, and I think it’s something you’ve got to get used to.
