Injuries continue to mount for Georgia Tech.

Defensive tackle Tawfiq Thomas, one of the Yellow Jackets’ best defenders this season, was listed as doubtful with an undisclosed injury on the initial ACC availability report ahead of Saturday’s game against Boston College.

Thomas, a senior transfer from Colorado, ranks second on the team with 37 tackles, including a team-best 7.5 stops for loss. He also had 2.5 sacks, two QB hurries and a forced fumble.

The Jackets have played much of the season without multiple starters and key contributors.

Several players, including safety Savion Riley, cornerback Daiquan White, defensive end Noah Carter and offensive tackle Ethan Mackenny, will be sidelined again this weekend.

The injury report also brought a potentially significant development on offense. Running back Justice Haynes, who did not play last week at Virginia Tech, was not listed on the report.

Defensive end Jordan Walker, who has missed the past four games, is listed as questionable.

Tech coach Brent Key is scheduled to speak with the media on Thursday.
