There are no changes from the previous depth chart released during NC State week.told the media Kam Robinson and Corey Costner should be good to go for Friday's game against Norfolk State. The Cavaliers also expect to have Isaiah Robinson back Friday. Rico Flores Jr. is listed as a starter but Elliott said he is not healthy enough to play Friday. Virginia hopes to have Flores back for the West Virginia game Sept. 19. Dillon Newton-Short is further behind Flores in his recovery. Based on the NC State game and injury updates, the top reserves should remain unchanged.. Here is the 'next man up' listed on the depth chart. There were no reported injuries sustained Aug. 29 against the Wolfpack. That is a major win for the Cavaliers. They will hope to keep a healthy roster heading into the Mountaineers game, when they expect to get their projected No. 1 receiver on the field for his Virginia debut. Virginia is also looking forward to a healthy Newton-Short, who was expected to be part of the WR rotation. For this week, all eyes will be on Kam Robinson to see how he performs in his first game since he tore his ACL Nov. 15 at Duke. His snaps might be limited if the Cavaliers are leading by several touchdowns early in the game. Xander Tilock serves as the lead editor for Virginia on SI.
