The projected timeline could mean Whitlow is back in time for the Georgia game in November. Auburn has an open date this weekend before traveling to Arkansas and LSU in back-to-back weeks. The Tigers then return home to host Ole Miss the first weekend in November before another bye week ahead of the Georgia game.

Whitlow is second in the SEC in rushing yards this season with 544 through six games. He also leads the league with seven rushing touchdowns on the season.
