Georgia is optimistic that two offensive starters will play vs Tennessee Volunteers.

The Georgia Bulldogs are dealing with several injuries ahead of Staurday's game against the Tennessee Volunteers. However, the latest reports suggest some positive news might be on the horizon for the Bulldogs.

Both starting offensive linemen Juan Gaston and Earnest Greene missed last week's game against Austin Peay. ON3's Chris Low recently reported that Georgia is 'optimistic' that both players will play this weekend.

The latest from @On3sports on injuries for this weekend. Sanders not expected to play for Vols. Bulldogs optimistic on Greene and Gaston. Miller and Keenan game-time decisions for Tide, but more realistic they return in two weeks vs. Georgia. https://t.co/tHfmQ73Fdd

When the official injury report was released on Wednesday. Greene was listed as "probable" and Gaston was listed as "questionable". Greene is a veteran starter for the Bulldogs, and Gaston is a true freshman who started week one for the Bulldogs. Both would be massive returns for Georgia as they head into a top 15 matchup against the Volunteers for their first conference game of the season.

It's also worth noting that Low reported true freshmen offensive linemen for the Tennessee Volunteers David Sanders will likely not play for Tennessee and will miss his third straight game of the season.
