Alabama head coach Nick Saban received a second consecutive negative test result and will now need just one more to return for Saturday's matchup against Georgia, according to ESPN's Field Yates.

Saban already underwent his Saturday test, and the results should be available later in the day, according to the Birmingham News' Michael Casagrande.

The sideline boss confirmed Saturday that he's still asymptomatic and feeling well.

"No fever, oxygen levels are great. Never had any symptoms," Saban told ESPN's College GameDay, according to Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger.

Saban and Alabama's athletic director tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday and have been working remotely since then.

Kickoff between No. 2 Alabama and No. 3 Georgia is slated for 8:00 p.m. ET on Saturday.
