Correction: In a previous version of this story, a cutline was incorrect. There is no proof A.J. Green attended a party with agents in Miami, and Green has said several times he was not in attendance at the party. The Red & Black regrets the error.

Aaron Murray’s official unveiling to Bulldog Nation Saturday could come without his favorite weapon: A.J. Green.

Green’s status for Saturday’s opener is still in question after the NCAA came to town in July to investigate his possible attendance at a party thrown by an agent in South Beach.

Head coach Mark Richt, when asked if he expected Green to play, was still non-committal Wednesday.

Students headed to Sanford Stadium Saturday may have to watch the team play without receiver A.J. Green, who is the subject of an unresolved NCAA investigation into a party thrown by an agent.

“You know I can’t talk about that. It’s a good try though,” Richt said. “I just can’t talk. I don’t know the answer to anything, other than I’m not supposed to talk about the situation. And I really don’t know.”

Obviously, Richt doesn’t want to risk playing a potentially ineligible player, so if Georgia does not hear back from the NCAA in time for Saturday’s game, does Green still play?

According to Claude Felton, associate athletic director of Georgia Sports Communication, the answer is still unknown.

“Great question, and I really don’t know the answer,” Felton said in an e-mail. “I’m sure there are a lot of schools thinking about that right now. I think all the schools are hoping that they hear back from the NCAA prior to Saturday.”

When Felton references “all the schools,” he’s referring to Alabama, South Carolina and North Carolina, who also have had a player’s attendance at the infamous Miami party put under question. Two of the players in question — South Carolina’s Weslye Saunders and North Carolina’s Marvin Austin — have since been “suspended indefinitely” by their teams and are out for their season openers due to “conduct detrimental to the team,” although their coaches say is not a result of the agent probe.

The NCAA has still yet to rule in all four impending cases.

And with the Louisiana-Lafayette game just three days away, Felton said the athletic department still has “not been given a timeline” by the NCAA.

The uncertainty of Green’s availability is made even worse by the fact that Georgia will be operating without their No. 2 receiver Tavarres King, who is serving a mandatory one-game suspension for an alcohol-related arrest.

The health of wide receivers Logan Gray and Rantavious Wooten is also in question as both have been injured and are just now getting back out on the practice field.

Unless the NCAA releases their findings between now and Saturday, Green’s ability to appear on the field Saturday remains a mystery. That mystery is one Richt seemingly doesn’t know the answer to, and one that could have huge implications on the Georgia offense, especially with the NCAA’s history of dragging their feet on such issues and a date with SEC East rival South Carolina looming the following week.

Gray returns to practice

For a former quarterback making the transition to wide receiver, a week of practice missed is a great deal of growth and development gone by the wayside. That’s why Logan Gray’s sprained ankle last week was less than ideal.

“I still think I have a ways to go, honestly, but it has worked out pretty well so far,” Gray said. “It was unfortunate I got hurt and had to miss that time, but I’m just trying to make up for it now.”

Georgia coaches and administration are still uncertain as to A.J. Green’s status for Saturday’s game.

Despite things not going as Gray would have hoped at quarterback, his time spent there wasn’t a total wash.

“Being able to know exactly what I’m supposed to run, how it’s supposed to look, and what kind of hole you might be looking for in a defense, or just what the quarterback is looking for on every single play, has helped out tremendously as far as making progress that much quicker,” Gray said.

As far as his future at quarterback if starter Aaron Murray goes down, Gray appeared ready.

“I’ve been focused on receiver. But being with the offense, I feel like if something did happen, some situation, I think depending on what the coaches think, I could do some things that they ask.”

Gray was listed as the No. 3 wide receiver on the latest depth chart released, and Richt said he expects Gray to see the field in the first quarter of the season opener.

Logan Gray should provide depth at the receiver spot.

Ironically, another quarterback-turned-wide receiver, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Hines Ward, wore No. 19 at Georgia — the same number Gray donned his freshman year.“I love watching Hines Ward play. He’s probably one of my favorite players,” Gray said. “I love how he goes about taking care of his business and what a competitor he is on the field.”
