Rumor is Tiyon is out tomorrow

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

Per a thread on 247. Now it’s just another thread, but Wes Rucker is commenting in the thread and not disputing it.

Wouldn't surprise me he's been battling and losing his high ankle sprain injury. Should have plenty of talent to make up for it. Get well soon Tiyon.

 

[84Volfan]

Don't think be able to run much anyway

 

[tennesseepride84]

He hurt that ankle against South Carolina and that’s been a minute plus the bye week, so it may not really be healed until after the season or maybe the bowl game. That sucks for him because he was ballin

 

[turnuptheVOLtage]

Rest him for Vandy / Bowl game. Next

 

[London Vol]

Dang, I did write last week that I think he is pretty well done for this season.

He has been a particularly bright star in an ever increasingly bright sky and I cant wait to see what he can do next season fully healed up.

 

[ATLVols]

Without Tiyon Evans, our running game is very limited. The guy can pick up tough yards and knows how to gain extra yardage.

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

He is out not playing

 

[Eastknox865]

Evans is the only true game changer in the backfield. Small is a good back but Evans is different. We will definitely miss his production

Correct.
Our running game is sadly now in Norman and Chapel Hill.

 

[irish1485]

Good, he's limped out the last few games. Clearly not healthy enough to be effective consistently right now. Let him rest it instead of taking a beating tomorrow.

 

[rocytop2624]

T.O played in the superbowl with a high ankle sprain.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

No bueno. He was really the only back that could pass protect. Our run game, with the exception of Hooker improvising, is very pedestrian after Evans. UGA D gonna have a field day and make for a very long day for the Vols. We’re already wearing black for our funeral so there’s that…

 

[camp_steveo]

Hopefully this is gamesmanship.

 

[Zues1]

If he played he would only last a few downs.
He needs rest. High ankle sprains can be a long recovery process.

Did Leneth Whitehead play against UK? Is he ready today?

 

[sechamp2012]

Correct.

I would take Chandler but Eric Gray has rushed under 50 yards 7 of 9 games and has not broke 100 yet. They played a light schedule their schedule is back loaded.

Sounds like he’ll be available per the Swain event yesterday.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Correct.

Yeah, we sure could have used them to backup a healthy Evans. Watched Chandler Thursday and he is still a mix of great skill that does not get much YAC. Give him a hole and life is good. Not followed Gray much this year.

 

[hndog609]

I don't think there's much point in having a cycle of letting a guy heal up just enough to make it on the field for a handful of plays before reaggravating the injury and having to come out again.

It's a shame too since in what we've seen given the opportunity he looks to have difference maker ability.

he was not on travel roster to UK

 

[LWSVOL]

He is out not playing

ditto

The problem is all 3 of our best running backs have been injured and are have not been able to play their best for most of the season. We need a really good of season strength and condition program this Winter.

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

We found a way to win mostly without him last week, so I think our coaches can scheme something up if he's not playing. Too be honest, he needs to get healthy and if that means not playing anymore this year, so be it.

 

[golfballs]

Not surprising. Just hope he’s back for the bowl game. Would be nice if he could rerun dor Vandy though.
