After a long weekend with no Virginia Football, the Hoos are back in action this coming weekend as they open up their conference slate at home against the 4-1 Duke Blue Devils.
Monday morning, Virginia released their updated depth chart:

There are two noticeable things in the newest depth chart, one good and one bad (or at least concerning). First, wide receiver Joe Reed is listed again after missing the Boise State victory with an injury. Reed has nine receptions for 70 yards in the three games he has played this season.
The second note from this week’s update is that Malcolm Cook still isn’t listed on the depth chart, and that instead of a second player at strongside linebacker, it says “TBA”. Charles Snowden played the position at times against Boise State, so it stands to reason that he would play there again, but it would be nice to have Cook back.
Other changes include true freshman Darious Bratton added at boundary corner, Nick Grant is now listed on the two-deep backing up Brenton Nelson at SABRE, Joey Blount moved from SABRE to free safety, and freshman corner Germane Crowell is not listed at all.
Virginia hosts Duke at 12:20pm on Saturday and the game will be televised on the ACC Network.
