Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava Expected to Play Against Georgia

Volunteers' coach Josh Heupel is optimistic about Iamaleava's recovery from a head injury ahead of the crucial SEC matchup.

Nico Iamaleava suffered a head injury in Tennessee's recent win over Mississippi State and was evaluated for concussion-like symptoms.
Iamaleava did not return for the second half of the Mississippi State game, but Coach Heupel reports he is progressing well.
Iamaleava's performance against Mississippi State was his most productive this season, with 174 passing yards and two touchdowns before his injury.
The upcoming game against Georgia is critical for both teams' chances in the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff.
Tennessee aims to snap a seven-game losing streak against Georgia, with Iamaleava's participation seen as key to their success.
