Here is the govolsextra story:

Tennessee tailback LaMarcus Coker was suspended indefinitely by coach Phillip Fulmer on Tuesday.

Fulmer declined to elaborate on specifics regarding Coker’s suspension but he did mention a medical condition.

“He must fulfill some obligations to the program and to me before he can return,” Fulmer read from a prepared statement after practice. “I have tried, as has the administration, to work with him, but at this time he must help himself.”

The sophomore led the Vols with 696 rushing yards his freshman year, even though he was sidelined for two games by an injured knee.

Coker missed five bowl practices in December for disciplinary reasons.

He is competing for time with junior Arian Foster and sophomore Montario Hardesty.

Coker said Monday he’s out of Fulmer’s “doghouse,” after being held out of UT’s final five bowl practices in December and other issues.

“Yeah, yeah I’m definitely out of the doghouse,” he said.

How can he make sure he stays out?

“Go to class, stay out of trouble,” Coker said. “That’s it.”

More details as they develop online and in Wednesday’s News Sentinel.
