practiced in full during the bye week after suffering a knee sprain in the loss to the Ole Miss Rebels on Nov. 2.However, Pittman clarified that the team is very confident in the ability of backup Malachi Singleton if Green were to be limited for any reason. In relief of Green against Ole Miss, Singleton went 11 of 14 passing for 207 yards and one touchdown while adding eight carries for 44 yards and a score on the ground.
"Absolutely," Pittman said when asked if the team feels confident in Singleton if Green isn't 100 percent. "He did a great job of throwing the football, throwing it early. Very accurate. Ran over some people. Malachi played extremely well and we're glad we have him and have a lot of belief in him when he goes in the game."
So far this season, Green has gone 161 of 263 passing for 2,214 yards, 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He's added 105 carries for 411 yards and five scores with his legs.
