    Virginia released its game 2 depth chart for the home opener against James Madison on Saturday at Scott Stadium. See UVA's complete week 2 depth chart in the image below: 

    Depth Chart James Madison

    Takeaways: 

    • Tony Muskett is still listed as Virginia's starting quarterback. Muskett left the game against Tennessee with an injured left shoulder and true freshman Anthony Colandrea played the remainder of the game. 
    • UPDATE: Tony Elliott says Tony Muskett is "day-to-day" for Saturday's game against JMU. Read Virginia's full injury report ahead of the JMU game here.
    • Chico Bennett is still absent from the UVA defensive line as he continues to recover from a knee injury suffered in fall camp. Tony Elliott had said previously that he hoped Bennett would be ready to return for the JMU game. That's still a possibility, as the depth chart does not always indicate the final lineup. 
    • Freshman Jason Hammond is listed as the backup at nose tackle for Olasunkonmi Agunloye, who suffered what Elliott called a "significant" injury to both knees in the Tennessee game.
    • The offensive line depth chart is the same, with Penn State transfer Jimmy Christ still out of the lineup for now as he recovers from a fall-camp injury. 
    • Senior tight end Josh Rawlings was added to the depth chart as a third tight end along with Sackett Wood and Grant Misch. 
    • The "or" between Sam Westfall and Malcolm Greene at right corner has been removed, indicating that Westfall has earned the starting job at that position. Antonio Clary is not on the depth chart for the second week as he continues to rehab a high ankle sprain. 
    • There were no changes at running back or any of the three wide receiver spots. 
    • There is now an "or" listed at long snapper between Aidan Livingston and Luke Byrne. Livingston suffered an injury during punt coverage in the Tennessee game.
