VIRGINIA CAVALIERS NEWS

Xavier Brown - Listed on depth chart Brown (arm) is listed as the third tailback on Virginia's depth chart, Jacquie Franciulli of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Brown has been dinged up throughout fall camp, and was spotted with a sling on his arm in early August. The tailback looks to have worked his way back to some level of availability, however, as he's listed on the Cavaliers' Week 1 depth chart. It remains to be seen how much Brown will play behind Kobe Pace and Jack Griese, but either way this is good news for Virginia's backfield.

Tony Muskett - Loses out in QB battle Muskett has lost Virginia's quarterback battle to Anthony Colandrea, Jacquie Franciulli of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Muskett transferred to Virginia for the 2023 season after three productive years at FCS Monmouth. However, he struggled with consistency last fall, tossing for 1,031 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions while completing 63 percent of his passes. It's a tough outcome for Muskett to lose a quarterback battle to a much younger player in his final year of eligibility, but he figures to be Virginia's backup moving forward.

Anthony Colandrea - Named starting quarterback Colandrea has been named Virginia's starting quarterback, per Jacquie Franciulli of 247Sports.com.

Impact Colandrea enters year two of his career with Virginia after tossing for 1,958 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions on 62.6 percent completion as a true freshman. He battled Tony Muskett for the job all offseason, but appears to have emerged victorious in the quarterback competition. He'll trot out with the starters when Virginia takes on Richmond on Aug. 31.

Dakota Twitty - Shifts to tight end Twitty is listed as a tight end in the Cavaliers roster for the 2024 season.

Impact The 6-foot-4 wideout can be a massive red zone target now that he's shifted positions. That said, he's expected to open the campaign buried in the depth chart behind the likes of Sackett Wood, Sage Ennis and Tyler Neville.

Davis Lane Jr. - Changes position again Lane is listed as a running back in the Virginia roster for the 2024 season.

Impact Lane is changing positions for the third time, as he enrolled into Syracuse as a quarterback and moved to safety before the start of the 2023 season. He'll aim to get touches out of the backfield, but he's expected to open the campaign buried in the depth chart.

Chris Tyree - Back at practice Tyree (foot) was back at practice Monday and moving well during drills, Greg Madia of The Daily Progress reports.

Impact Tyree was spotted in a boot just a week ago, but it appears he's making huge recovery strides in the right direction. The 5-foot-10 wide receiver is not fully confirmed to be available for Week 1 against Richmond, but this news is as promising as it gets just two weeks out.

JR Wilson - Will miss start of season Wilson (leg) will be out until mid-September after undergoing surgery, Jacquie Franciulli of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Wilson was spotted in a leg brace at practice earlier in the week, and it's now been reported that he's undergone surgery that'll likely keep the receiver sidelined for Virginia's first couple of games. Wilson totaled 98 yards and a touchdown on 10 receptions in 2023.

Xavier Brown - Wearing sling in practice Brown (arm) was wearing a non-contact jersey and a sling during Thursday's practice, Jacquie Franciulli of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Brown has been dealing with an undisclosed arm injury since November and while he has been able to practice since the spring, his lack of contact in those practices is starting to be a concern. On top of that he's wearing a sling, bringing further uncertainty for his availability for the start of the 2024 season.

Chris Tyree - Not wearing boot anymore Tyree (foot) is not wearing a walking boot anymore and seems to be trending in the right direction toward being available for the season opener against Richmond on Aug. 31, Jacquie...

Impact Tyree is not 100 percent ready to play, but with the season opener still a few weeks away, every step in the right direction is a positive sign for the wideout. Tyree was spotted wearing a boot in Monday's practice, but the fact that he's no longer wearing that protection is certainly a welcome sign for the Cavaliers. Tyree recorded 26 catches for 484 yards and three touchdowns in 2023 while playing for Notre Dame, with all those figures being career-high marks for him.

Anthony Colandrea - Practices with knee brace Colandrea practiced with a brace and tape on his knee, Jacquie Franciulli of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Sources said the program was keeping a close on Colandrea's knee, but the specific injury he is dealing with is unknown. Given that he is able to practice without major issue, it seems like the injury is not very serious and shouldn't affect the start of his season.

Jaden Gibson - Observed at practice Gibson (undisclosed) was observed participating during Friday's practice session, Preston Willett of Elon Communications reports.

Impact Gibson was limited to just six appearances during the 2023 season as he tended an undisclosed injury. The sophomore wide receiver's participation in practice bodes well for his chances to be ready to kick off the upcoming season. He totaled five receptions for 54 yards during the 2023 campaign.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Jack Griese - Running hard during team practice Griese (undisclosed) reportedly ran hard during Virginia's team practice Monday, Jacquie Franciulli of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Griese running hard indicates he has recovered from the undisclosed injury that prevented his spring participation. The running back logged 11 carries for 34 yards and one touchdown during Virginia's 2024 season. There are expected to be opportunities for improvement, especially now that Mike Hollins is out of collegiate eligibility.

Sage Ennis - Returning from injury Ennis (knee) will be returning from injury and is expected to be ready for the season opener, Jacquie Franciulli of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Ennis suffered an ACL injury that forced him to miss most of the 2023 season. The senior tight end seems to be in line to return to the field in time for the beginning of the 2024 season. Last year, Ennis totaled three receptions for 52 yards with Clemson.

Impact Tyree was dressed in street clothes during the spring training camp, and the fact that he's spotted in a walking boot only a few weeks before the start of the regular season is concerning, to say the least. Tyree will have to show an impressive recovery if he wants to be available for the season opener in late August, but it wouldn't be surprising if he misses some time.
