The first week’s depth chart gives us our first concrete look at the position battles.
The Virginia football program released its Week 1 depth chart on Monday, and it came with a few surprises. The document was posted online by Andrew Ramspacher of the Daily Progress.
The main surprise is the absence of Malcolm Cook at outside linebacker. The junior had an impressive training camp and off-season and appeared to have one of the starting OLB spots locked down. According to Ramspacher, Virginia head coach Bronco Mendenhall referred to Cook as having a “medical situation.” There’s no word yet on how long Cook will be out.
