KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee football coach Jeremy Pruitt said he had to turn a scheduled scrimmage into a regular practice Saturday because 44 players could not practice.
Pruitt said those players hadn’t been at the last three or four practices, and the Vols were left with only 30 offensive players. That forced coaches to focus on two groups in situational work.
Of the 44 Volunteers who did not practice, Pruitt said seven or eight of those are active covid-19 cases. Three players are dealing with injuries or surgeries. Pruitt says approximately 27 or 28 are in quarantine.
