Short-handed Vols lose more defensive starters

The Tennessee Volunteers will be as short-handed on defense as they'll be without two more starters against the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday.

Cornerback Justin Martin, who started last week against Florida, is suspended for Saturday's game, sources told ESPN. In addition, linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin has a shoulder injury and isn't expected to play.

Reeves-Maybin, one of the Vols' leaders and best defenders, missed most of last week's game against Florida after injuring his shoulder the week before against Ohio.

The Vols were already without two starters because of injury -- cornerback Cam Sutton and middle linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr.
