Vols are healthy KNOXVILLE (AP) — Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer says his team is healthy following Saturday’s 34-13 victory over Arkansas and expects the No. 19 Vols to be ready for Vanderbilt this weekend.
“We really game through the game pretty well,” Fulmer said of the win. “I don’t expect anyone to miss any significant practice time or the game.”
However, freshman linebacker LaMarcus Thompson and junior defensive back Ja’Kouri Williams sat out Sunday’s practice for precautionary reasons after having “their bells rung” against Arkansas, Fulmer said.
Tennessee is listed behind No. 8 Georgia in the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division standings, but the Vols will claim the division title if they can defeat Vanderbilt and Kentucky. |
