Tennessee Volunteers defensive back Brandon Davis was hospitalized and treated for non-life-threatening injuries after he suffered a gunshot wound to the leg Saturday.

Blake Toppmeyer of the Knoxville News Sentinel reported the news, noting police are investigating.

"We are thankful that Brandon's injuries were minor, and he is expected to make a full recovery," Tennessee athletics said in a statement. "We are gathering information as it becomes available."

Toppmeyer noted a police officer was flagged down for help outside a bar and wrote in an incident report that Davis was being helped by several people because of what seemed to be a small-caliber gunshot wound in his leg.
