Shoutout to Vols Medical Staff on Pope.

This is amazingly quick recovery time.
Great news.
Vols' Pope might be ready for opener despite July back surgery

Indeed! If not ready for the opener he should be able to play. Need all the help we can get at TE.

Yep. Def back for our toughest games of Georgia, Bama.
Getting Pope back really helps our oline especially since we have (probably) lost Mays.

Good deal. Now all we need is for him to catch the football.

Doubt we lose Mays. NCAA is going to have a hard time justifying not allowing a transfer to play if eligibility this year doesn’t matter.

I had L5 / S1 done over 30 years ago and my L4/L5 probably could have been done. I was one of the lucky ones but had a great surgeon and I did my years of PT and went from being essentially crippled to being able to just about everything I did way back then. I was back at work two weeks after the surgery. Dr Fardon at the old KOC in Knoxville pretty much saved my life. If Mr Pope sticks to his daily back stretches and strengthening regime, he should be 100%.
