Injury Updates for Missouri game

[sanddune50]

Per Hubbs

For the first time in a month, Tennessee is somewhat healthy. Guard Jashon Robertson who hasn't played past the first quarter in a game since September and hasn't dressed for a game this month is expected travel to Missouri with the team later today and is expected to dress for the game. Head coach Butch Jones has said all week that Robertson is as game ready as he has been all season.

Marquez North is traveling and is expected to dress. He has practiced all week. North did play two snaps last week against North Texas but struggled with the physical part of the game and didn't play any more.

Freshman Preston Williams has not played since the Alabama game, but is expected to travel and dress Saturday night. Williams is battling a tender hamstring, but has practiced this week and has physically gotten through everything.

Sophomore linebacker Elliott Berry is out with a knee sprain. But outside of Berry, the defense appears to be healthy. Stephen Griffin should be available for special teams and in case of injury in the secondary, but Darrell Miller is not expected to be on the roster of available players.

With a tender hamstring I think they should let Preston sit since it's going to be so cold.

Dale-Doe Say: One thing fer sher, if Astro-Dobbs don't pound the rock tomorrow, we may be 0-4 versus Mizzou. He ain't too accurate tossing the pigskin, we got to have his feets to win this one.... :rock2:

He's not wrong. Dobbs legs are the key to this offense.

If Dobbs is healthy we are good, if not.....:no:

Well I hope he doesn't try to "pound the rock" tomorrow. Run sure, but with a possible foot injury he doesn't need to run it like a RB.

Welcome to the board DaleDoe. Can I call you Dale? It's always refreshing to have characters like yourself and Witch Doctor that refer to themselves in the 3rd person.

Dobbs will run when he needs to, but everytime he tucks, Hurd is in his ear telling him to give it. Dobbs isn't 100 physically but his mind is. He will give to the horse

 

[armchair]

I think we will need a good game from Dobbs. Playing away in cold weather is not going to be easy for us. He needs to make some plays with his legs and arm.

Was not talking about content. Dobbs legs are the key to every game.

You know, you just don't hear much about Elliot Berry.

I was hoping we'd give him a shot in the backfield. I just dont see SEC linebacker there.

 

[508mikey]

No report on Dobbs ? Was he injured or not ? Did they just use that as an excuse last week ?

You gotta think he's a better option than Jumper haha.

As for Dobbs, I know he's not the most accurate QB in the nation, but he's good enough. Watch some other games, check out how many balls thrown look exactly like Dobbs. He gets too typecast imo. He can throw if he gets into rhythm early.

Didn't the witch doctor pass away? Or am I wrong and the bones are still telling the truth?

I'd agree. For the most part, since the early 90s, the Vols have been spoiled with NFL-talent QBs. Whether their heads were on straight or not is a different monster. But Manning, Tee, Casey, Ainge, Crompton, and Bray? All good arms. It's like Vols fans don't know how to handle a QB that doesn't have an NFL-caliber arm

You are wrong thank god.

I knew we sadly lost Cyclops, and I couldn't remember if we'd had a similar sad loss with the witch doctor

That was a rumor. But he addressed it. Glad it was false, hated him on GVX, came to like him here
