Carson Beck - Ticketed for backup role Beck is expected to serve as the backup Saturday with Stetson Bennett being announced as the starter for Georgia against UAB, Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald reports.

Stetson Bennett - Announced as probable starter Bennett was announced as the probable starter ahead of Saturday's game against UAB, Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald reports.

Impact It was initially believed freshman Carson Beck could be in line to get the start for the Bulldogs, but it appears that Bennett will likely get the nod, probably due to his experience under center. Bennett appeared in eight games for Georgia last year, completing 55.5 percent of his 155 pass attempts for 1,179 yards and an 8:6 TD:INT ratio.

JT Daniels - Working with backups Daniels (oblique) is warming with the second-team offense Saturday while Carson Beck and Stetson Bennett alternate snaps with the first-team, Chip Towers of The Atlanta Journal-Con...

Impact Though Daniels is out on the field for warmups, the fact that he's working with the second team suggests that Georgia does not plan to start him. It will likely be Beck or Bennett to start Saturday's game.

JT Daniels - Present for warmup, status still uncertain Daniels (oblique) took part in early warmups but his status remains uncertain for Saturday's game against UAB, Seth Emerson of The Athletic reports.

Impact It appears unlikely that Daniels will start Saturday's game but his presence for warmups suggests that his injury is not long-term. Stetson Bennett and Carson Beck are the expected potential starters for the Bulldogs at this time, even with Daniels in uniform an hour before kick.

Carson Beck - Candidate to start Saturday Beck and Stetson Bennett are the two quarterbacks most likely to start for Georgia against UAB on Saturday, Seth Emerson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Emerson's initial report pegged Beck as the likely replacement under center for JT Daniels (oblique), but it could be Bennett instead who gets the starting nod. Barring a late change of mind from the coaching staff, Daniels is slated to sit out and whoever replaces him could supply some value in daily formats. At this point, it's a two-horse race for those honors and we may not know the answer to that question until pregame warmups.

Stetson Bennett - In conversation to start Bennett is one of two candidates along with Carson Beck who could start Saturday versus UAB, Seth Emerson of The Athletic reports.

Impact The initial report suggested Beck would likely get the nod under center, but the most recent version suggests Bennett is also an option to get the starting nod. The decision may not be made public, so it would require some flexibility from a DFS standpoint to include one of them in the lineup.

JT Daniels - Not expected to start Daniels (oblique) is not expected to start in Saturday's game against UAB but still could suit up, Seth Emerson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Daniels' oblique injury is reported to be mild but the team is planning on taking a very cautious approach with him before beginning their SEC schedule next week against South Carolina. There's still a chance Daniels could suit up and play, and possibly even start if he feels good to go Saturday morning, but the coaching staff won't be taking any risks with his health with conference play on the horizon. Carson Beck is expected to start in his place if he ends up being held out.

Carson Beck - Could get start Saturday Beck is expected to get the start Saturday against UAB, Seth Emerson of The Athletic reports.

Impact JT Daniels is dealing with an oblique issue, leaving Georgia to explore its depth options. Beck appears to be the next man up instead of Stetson Bennett or Brock Vandagriff. Daniels has yet to be officially ruled out, but the signs are pointing towards Beck getting the nod. Beck, a second-year quarterback, has yet to throw a pass in a game for the Bulldogs.
