Notes from Tennessee's Tuesday practice | Nooga.com
Injury update:
Out: WR Ryan Jenkins, DT Trevarris Saulsberry, TE Brendan Downs, TE A.J. Branisel, S Brian Randolph, WR Drae Bowles, WR Jacob Carter
Limited: DT Jason Carr (large cast on hand), WR Jason Croom, DB Devaun Swafford, DB Max Arnold, OL Austin Sanders
Other notes/observations:
The punt returners worked on fielding punts while holding tennis balls in their hands (pictured above). The point was to emphasize getting their arms under the ball and cradling it while trying to catch the punt.
The starting kickoff return team got some live action with Devrin Young and Jaron Toney getting the first shot as the deep returners. The rest of the return unit consisted of Alden Hill, LaDarrell McNeil, Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Lemond Johnson, Ethan Wolf, Colton Jumper, LaTroy Lewis, Kenny Bynum and Daniel Helm.
In a few live 11-on-11 plays, the offense had a couple nice plays. Young took a handoff around the left end for approximately 15 yards and quarterback Riley Ferguson, working with the second team, made a nice throw to Helm for a first down.
One new defensive wrinkle was working DE Jordan Williams as a defensive tackle in some pass-rushing situations. Curt Maggitt continues to play a hybrid role. He took some snaps with his hand in the dirt and on others he started the play as a walked-up outside linebacker. Regardless of how he lines up, the Vols are clearly looking for ways to let him utilize his natural pass-rushing skills.
The defense was back in orange practice uniforms after getting the upper hand in Saturday's scrimmage.
