Tennessee senior safety Jaylen McCollough, who missed the past two games after being charged with felony aggravated assault, has been cleared by both the university and athletic department to resume playing, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
The No. 3 Vols face No. 19 Kentucky on Saturday in Neyland Stadium, and coach Josh Heupel told reporters Thursday that McCollough was with the Vols this week practicing.
"So we'll see," Heupel said as to whether McCollough would play against the Wildcats.
McCollough, a four-year starter, was arrested Oct. 9 when a man told police he was assaulted by McCollough.
