Updates on Virginia's injured players ahead of this weekend's season-opener against RIchmond.
depth chart for Saturday's season opener against Richmond was released on Tuesday, one name that was noticeably absent was Ben Smiley III, a sixth-year defensive end who has played in 29 career games and made eight starts on the UVA defensive line in 2023.
Instead, junior Terrell Jones, who recently made the move from defensive tackle to defensive end, and walk-on freshman Billy Koudelka were listed as the backups to Kam Butler and Chico Bennett, respectively. While Elliott did not elaborate on any of Virginia's other injured players, the depth chart does answer some questions. As expected, junior wide receiver JR Wilson is not listed on the depth chart after having to get his knee scoped during fall camp, though Elliott previously expressed optimism that Wilson's injury would not be long-term.
