ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia's season is on the line on Saturday.
On Nov. 16, the No. 12 Bulldogs will face off against the No. 7 Tennessee Volunteers for a potential playoff spot. While Tennessee could still make the playoffs with another loss, Georgia would certainly fall out of the postseason hunt with a third loss on the season.
The Bulldogs are coming off a 28-10 loss to Ole Miss, and a second-straight loss would likely ruin their chances at contending for a third national championship in four years.
In a game with as much significance as this one, every player is valuable. On Wednesday night, the SEC released the full injury availability report for both teams.
For Georgia, the team will still be without running backs Roderick Robinson II and Branson Robinson. Branson, however, could return in the next few weeks, as he recently started practicing again. Trevor Etienne is still dealing with an injury he suffered against Florida and has been listed as out.
Fellow running back Cash Jones is listed as questionable, he was recently reported to be in a boot.
Micah Morris, who was also hurt against Florida two weeks ago, is also questionable to suit up. Morris, alongside offensive linemen like Tate Ratledge, Jared Wilson and Earnest Greene III, has been battling injuries as the offensive line continues to struggle to remain healthy.
Finally, return man Anthony Evans III is questionable to return. If he is back, it should solidify the punt returner position for the Bulldogs. All three players were taken off the injury report list, but it's unclear how much they'll all play.
Tennessee will be missing several defensive players, including Jourdan Thomas, Keenan Pili, Edwin Spillman, and will be without running back DeSean Bishop. They'll also be without offensive lineman Vysen Lang, who was listed as questionable earlier in the week.
The biggest name on the injury list is the Volunteers' starting quarterback: Nico Iamaleava. At the start of this week, it was announced that he entered concussion protocol and that his status for the game was up in the air. However, he's since been removed from the injury report and will start for the Volunteers.
Alongside Iamaleava, wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. was also listed as questionable, however, was taken off the injury report. For a full list of injuries from both teams, take a look below.
