ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava has been cleared to play Saturday night when the sixth-seeded Volunteers take on No. 11 Georgia in a game with major College Football Playoff implications.
Iamaleava was injured in a win over Mississippi State and reportedly started the week with a concussion protocol.
After being listed as questionable on the first two injury reports filed with the Southeastern Conference, Iamaleava was not listed on the report Friday.
Iamaleava has played a big role in Tennessee’s four-game winning streak. Going back to the second half of the win over Alabama on October 19, he has completed 65% of his passes for 1,879 yards and 11 touchdowns, with four interceptions.
Receiver Dont’e Thornton has also been given the green light to play for Tennessee after initially being listed as questionable due to a hand injury. He leads the Volunteers with 505 yards receiving and four touchdowns.
