Georgia running back Nick Chubb has been held out of his second straight practice as he continues to nurse an ankle sprain, per the Athens Banner-Herald’s Marc Weiszer:

Chubb suffered the injury in the first half of Saturday’s 45-14 loss to Ole Miss and did not return. Yesterday, coach Kirby Smart said that Chubb was “going to continue to rehab really hard” and that he wasn’t certain whether his star ball-carrier would be healthy enough to play this Saturday vs. Tennessee.
It was around this time last season when Chubb went down with a significant, season-ending knee injury in a Week 6 meeting with the Vols.
Through four games, Chubb leads the team with 83 carries for 422 yards (5.1 ypc) and three touchdowns.
