ATHENS, Ga. — Tennessee hit the road for the first time since early October to take on Georgia. It’s the top matchup in College Football this weekend.

Both Nico Iamaleava and wide receiver Dont’e Thornton were removed from Tennessee Football’s injury report and are cleared to play for the Vols tonight at Sanford Stadium. 

Volquest’s Brent Hubbs reported Friday night that Iamaleava has been cleared to play for No. 6 Tennessee (8-1, 5-1 SEC). No. 11 Georgia (7-2, 5-2) ruled out running back Trevor Etienne on Thursday’s injury report.

Before the game, Austin Price and Eric Cain give their final thoughts on this big showdown.

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.
