Tennessee Vols fans may have missed some important midweek good news for the football program
Tennessee Vols fans were somewhat relieved on Wednesday evening when the first SEC injury report of the week was dropped and UT quarterback Nico Iamaleava was listed as questionable.

Tennessee Vols fans were somewhat relieved on Wednesday evening when the first SEC injury report of the week was dropped and UT quarterback Nico Iamaleava was listed as questionable.
That was always the expectation, but there was at least a possibility that Iamaleava, who is reportedly in the concussion protocol, could've been listed as "doubtful" or "out".
For now, Iamaleava is considered day to day.
Vols wide receiver Dont'e Thornton, who left Tennessee's win against Mississippi State due to injury, was also listed as questionable.
That wasn't the only injury news for Tennessee on Wednesday evening.
Vols offensive linemen Andrej Karic, Javontez Spraggins, and John Campbell were also banged up in Tennessee's win against Mississippi State.
Karic, Tennessee's starting left guard, played just 21 of 84 offensive snaps against Mississippi State. Spraggins, the Vols' starting right guard, played 72 of 84 offensive snaps, leaving the game at one point with what appeared to be a right knee injury.
Campbell, Tennessee's starting right tackle, played just 28 of 84 offensive snaps.
None of those three players were listed on Tennessee's injury report on Wednesday evening, signaling that they should be good to go for the Vols' matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens on Saturday night.
Jackson Lampley (66 offensive snaps), Dayne Davis (56 offensive snaps), and Shamurad Umarov (9 offensive snaps) saw action against Mississippi State as a result of the injuries to Tennessee's starting offensive linemen.
