Juwan Mitchell not playing [and four others ruled out]

[mtvols]

Just heard them say on the radio that J Mitchell is out tonight.

 

[mtvols]

No D Williams or Rucker too

 

[tennesseepride84]

Did they mention why?

 

[RockyTop140]

Need him to stay healthy this season. That’s assuming the reason he’s out is injury related.

 

[butchna]

Elijah Herring…

 

[CrazyUncleVol]

Well damn.

 

[Volfan39]

Ap said it’s not injury related and is not a long term concern

Discipline related?

from 247

Tennessee will be without five players for Thursday night’s season opener against Ball State. The Vols announced in pregame that linebacker Juwan Mitchell, wide receiver Chas Nimrod, tight end Miles Campbell and defensive backs Dee Williams and De’Shawn Rucker will not play against the Cardinals — no reasons were given for their absences. The game will kick off at 7 p.m. on the SEC Network.

Freshman Nimrod, redshirt freshman Campbell and Rucker were not listed on the depth chart Tennessee allowed earlier this week, but Mitchell was bracketed as a co-starter with Aaron Beasley at Mike linebacker and Williams was listed as a backup cornerback and bracketed with Trevon Flowers as Tennessee’s punt returner.

Seems like late to meeting or curfew or could be minor nagging injury. Who knows. Go Big Orange. In CHRIST Alone

Is it just pre-ordained by the football Gods that we never get any help from the state of Texas? Seems like we always have trouble with recruits/transfers from the lone Star state.
so much fall practice talk about how good Mitchell looked and that he beat out Beasley. Dang it!

 

[Hacksaw]

Love to have everyone available, but we shouldn't miss those guys tonight.

Hush.

Don't forget Bru was a Longhorn for a bit also even though he came here from USC.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Would like to have seen Campbell get some reps, as well as D.Williams and Rucker. But ... more opportunity for other guys.

Bru only had a cup of coffee there. Doesn’t count, lol.

Very impressed with Beasley tonight.
He has to have at least 10 tackles and 2 QB pressures

If only TN had helped the state of TX in the past, like sending riflemen to their war of independence, or giving them a TN governor to lead their army.Maybe then they'd be more willing to help us out.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Did anyone ever find out why Mitchell was out?

 

[Vfl2407]

Did anyone ever find out why Mitchell was out?

Yes, would love to know this too. Was CJH asked?

 

[walkenvol]

Yes he was in the press conference and he indicated Mitchell was dealing with an injury and would be evaluated again before the Pitt game
