Virginia Tech's bout with injury will still continue in the Hokies' bout against the Yellow Jackets in Week 9. P.J. Prioleau remained out of the depth chart for the second consecutive week, and Layth Ghannam's absence is still felt at the left guard position as veteran Bob Schick has taken over for Layth.

There were some significant changes on this week on the depth chart though.

After being named the starter alongside Aeneas Peebles last week, Kelvin Gilliam returned to a co-starter role at defensive tackle shared with Wilfried Pene. That subsequently moved Josh Fuga on the depth chart to back up Aeneas Peebles, although the depth chart isn't always chalk, Brent Pry will likely keep rotating tackles on the defensive line.

The other major change in this week's depth chart was Jaden Keller being named as a co-starter alongside Sam Brumfield at middle linebacker.
