Stripling heavily praised Cam Sutton, again an exemplary leader and fluid in the drill. Darrell Taylor also was natural.

The Vols worked some live kickoff return, with D.J. Henderson and Micah Abernathy the two deep men on this day with the "first-team kickoff return." Henderson executed a dazzling, 50-yard return that was expertly blocked against the second-team coverage unit.

Vincent Perry has had a sparkling spring, really turning heads of everyone in the football program, but Perry has suffered another injury setback with a meniscus injury that will be cleaned up.

Brice

I think it's safe to say that the expectations for the offensive line Tuesday was to perform better than they did on Saturday. And clearly both line coach Don Mahoney and offensive coordinator Mike DeBord were pushing tempo early on the practice field.

Defensively, Justin Martin was back out on the practice field in a green non-contact jersey and they did a good bit of time defensively on their turnover circuit as the defense has not forced the number of turnovers they want this spring. There was also continued work on the various pressure packages which were effective on Saturday as defensive coordinator Bob Shoop continues to grow his defensive package this spring.

Hubbs

With Martin, back Tennessee was missing Josh Smith, who wasn't on the practice field. Tennessee's already thin wide receiving group looked even thinner with Preston Williams and Jeff George getting a majority of the reps.

Another guy that Tennessee fans could be very excited about after Saturday is true freshman Marquill Osborne. He continues to look really good as he already paces the field physically for his class.

Austin

Tennessee’s defense wore orange jerseys on Tuesday, meaning they were determined the winners from Saturday’s scrimmage.

Juniors-to-be offensive linemen Brett Kendrick and Austin Sanders also were back on the field again. They returned Saturday after missing some time with minor injuries, but both looked fine Tuesday.

Tennessee continues to be … well … thin at wide receiver. Jones’ practice coverage guidelines preclude us from mentioning specifics, but let’s put it this way: At this rate, there will be plenty of hand-offs during Saturday’s Orange & White Game.

Austin Bornheim: Butch Jones says Jauan Jennings and Vincent Perry are out for the rest of spring (one more practice, spring game). Should be back mid-June.

Annual Oklahoma Drill Game this Saturday

 

[TAF]

Who needs Wide Receivers when your Quarterback can't throw the ball down the field??!!

 

[Catbone]

This is 4 years in a row now that our receivers have struggled to stay healthy. Enough is enough

 

[TAF]

SOMEBODY get Jeff George to eat a couple jars of this everyday...PLEASE!!!

 

[CoaxialOrange]

Our luck he does that gets it in his lungs. Game over(til June)

 

[thomaseusin]

Is it me or do the lines look odd on the practice field? Looks like a distinct hill in some spots and bumpy in others.

Is that you Trump?

 

[LittleVol]

Well, time to fire the Strength and conditioning coach I've had it

Its Azzani and his methods. WRS run more than anyone, but he teaches a very rigid style of play to go along with it.

 

[governmentmule]

again thanks for the work Mr Fingers :hi:

 

[dcm3w]

Is that you Trump?

"You know who knows about WRs? I do. No one knows more about our receivers than I do. I'm going to make our WR group great again. I guarantee it."

:lol:

 

[Catbone]

:lol:

I see you have no real answer

 

[VolForLife83]

I'm tired of hearing "it happens to every team". Yes injuries are bound to happen in Football, but the rate it's happening at UT, you have to start wondering..... wtf is going on

 

[butchna]

I see you have no real answer

:rofl:

 

[m1al]

I see you have no real answer

Twitter rumor.. Tyler Byrd to slot..

All better now..

 

[dyllisvol42]

I mean injuries do happen, I believe FL St has 21 guys out this spring. I know it seems like we have a lot but 11 guys were out before spring started. I think with some of them they are being really protective. If it were the season and say some of them would play, but sense it's not, then no sense it getting anyone hurt worse.

Twitter rumor.. Tyler Byrd to slot..

All better now..

He tweeted that he's coming in as a WR.
