Virginia quarterback Jameel Sewell, injured in the third quarter of UVa's 20-9 victory over Maryland, is listed as "probable" for the Cavaliers' game Saturday with visiting Georgia Tech.
Sewell aggravated an ankle injury with which he had been playing for several weeks.
Defensive end Matt Conrath, helped from the field Saturday with an ankle injury, will not play against the Yellow Jackets. It is expected that fellow sophomore Zane Parr will take his place in the starting lineup.
Tight end Joe Torchia and offensive lineman Oday Aboushi are listed as questionable (50-50) with a shoulder and knee injury, respectively.
There is no mention of running back Mikell Simpson on the injury report, apparently an indication he will play after being kneed in the head Oct. 17 against Indiana and then missing the Maryland game.

SEC reprimands Petrino for criticizing officials
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino has been reprimanded by the Southeastern Conference after publicly criticizing officials who worked his team's loss to Florida last weekend.
The league announced its action Thursday night, a day after saying the officiating crew from the Razorbacks' 23-20 loss would be suspended. The officials came under scrutiny after a personal foul call on Arkansas' Malcolm Sheppard in the fourth quarter.
