Tennessee Volunteers head coach Josh Heupel has confirmed that Nico Iamaleava’s status for the crucial upcoming game against Georgia is still uncertain. Following Iamaleava’s exit from the Mississippi State game due to a head injury, speculation has been swirling about his availability for Saturday’s matchup in Athens.
Heupel gave fans a glimmer of hope but urged them to hold off for the official word, saying, “Nico has been good here in the early part of the week,” and advised everyone to stay tuned for an update in the injury report, set to be released tonight at 8 p.m.
While the Vols’ head coach has expressed confidence that Iamaleava will be ready to play, noting that the decision to hold him out of the second half against Mississippi State was purely precautionary, the injury report will ultimately give fans clarity. If Iamaleava is unavailable, backup quarterback Gaston Moore may need to step up for the Vols.
