*Defensive end LaTroy Lewis worked with the tight ends for at least a portion of practice. We will get more on if that is an experimental move or something the coaches are looking at more permanently when Jones talks after practice. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound redshirt sophomore from Akron, Ohio, played in just six games at end last season. He redshirted following an ACL injury in 2012.
The Vols are down Brendan Downs and A.J. Branisel, who are both coming off knee injuries, and freshmen Ethan Wolf and Daniel Helm have gotten most of the heavy lifting.
*Nickelback Justin Coleman wore a thick chain with a lock on it around his neck during parts of practice. There's likely one of Jones's program mottos involved there, so we'll see what was up with that after practice.
Some things that jumped out: quarterback Riley Ferguson narrowly missed hitting tight end Woody Quinn for a completion down the seam; Nathan Peterman badly underthrew a deep route intended for freshman Josh Malone; and Marquez North and Von Pearson each made catches on the edge and out of the slot, respectively.
