Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava status unchanged, Georgia RB ruled out on Thursday injury report
Nico Iamaleava remained questionable on Tennessee Football’s SEC injury report Thursday night. The Vols all update the injury report again on Friday night, then one final time 90 minutes before No. 6 Tennessee’s game at No. 11 Georgia on Saturday.
The two teams are scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time start on ABC at Sanford Stadium.
The Tennessee injury report also listed senior wide receiver Dont’e Thornton and freshman offensive lineman Vysen Lang as questionable. Georgia’s injury report on Thursday ruled out running back Trevor Etienne.
“Nico has had a good start to the week,” Josh Heupel said Wednesday night on Vol Calls, “and we will continue to monitor him as we get closer to game day, just like we do with all of our guys. Stay tuned to the availability report and we will see where we’re at at the end of the week.”

SEC Injury Reports
The SEC in August announced “availability reports” for football, basketball and baseball.
“This availability reporting policy is intended to reduce pressure from outside entities seeking participation information,” said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, “and represents a commitment of our 16 institutions to provide enhanced transparency to support efforts to protect our student-athletes and the integrity of competition.”
Players will be listed as available, probable, questionable, doubtful or out for their next game. On game day the updates will include available, game-time decision or out.
Schools of who fail to provide accurate and timely availability reports will be subject to penalties from $25,000, for first-time offenders, to $100,000 for “third and further” offenses in football. Men’s basketball, women’s basketball and baseball fines will be between $15,000 and $25,000.
