The statuses of a few of the Vols other recently injured players remain a bit more uncertain.

Jones said Monday that freshman tight ends Ethan Wolf and Daniel Helm have recovered from the injuries they suffered over the past few weeks, but he wont know more until later in the week about sophomore wide receiver Josh Smiths availability for Saturdays SEC opener.
Freshman running back Derrell Scott, meanwhile, is not quite game-ready yet but hasnt been ruled out for Saturdays game.
Well know a little bit more later in the week of (Smiths) status for the Georgia game, Jones said during his weekly press conference Monday at Neyland Stadium.
Von Pearson will be out. Daniel Helm practiced yesterday, looked great, so we'll have him back for the game. Ethan Wolf is back full-speed, so it's been great to have the tight ends back in our offense.
Helm suffered an ankle injury during UT's loss Sept. 13 at Oklahoma, while Pearson (high ankle sprain) and Wolf (bruised knee) didn't play against the Sooners because of the injuries they suffered Sept. 6 against Arkansas State.
Jones said Scotts recovery from the foot injury that sidelined him for Tennessees first three games is still ongoing, but hes close to perhaps being ready to make his debut after practicing last week.
Its very good to have (Scott) back on the football field, and he brings another element in our backfield, and also competition, Jones said. Not quite game-ready yet, but well make a determination on his status, if hell be on the travel squad or not going on the road.
When you go on the road in the SEC, you have travel restrictions, so a lot of it is special-teams value, as well.
