Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said Monday he felt that quarterback Nico Iamaleava, who suffered a blow to the head in the 33-14 win over Mississippi State this past weekend, would be in "great shape for Saturday" when the Vols take on Georgia in Athens.

Iamaleava didn't play in the second half against Mississippi State and underwent an evaluation by doctors for what sources told ESPN were concussion-like symptoms. Iamaleava did not return to the Tennessee sideline for the second half.

Heupel told reporters that Iamaleava was "with the team and had a really good day" Monday morning during team activities and meetings.
