Season-Ending Injury
Tennessee will be without its leading pass rusher for the remainder of the season after Tyree Weathersby suffered a leg injury in the win over Kentucky. The senior defensive end had started every game and was performing at a high level before the setback.
Strong Statistical Output
Weathersby leads the team with seven sacks while posting 20 total tackles and 8.5 tackles for loss. He also recorded three quarterback hurries and two fumble recoveries. Earlier this season he earned SEC Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week honors after a performance against Alabama that included two sacks and a fumble recovery.
Team Context and Depth
The Vols enter their next contest at 7-2 and ranked 13th in the College Football Playoff rankings. They travel to Texas A&M this Saturday. With Weathersby sidelined, defensive ends Jordan Norman and Mariyon Dye are expected to take on larger roles, while younger players will also be asked to contribute more along the line.
