A week into Tennessee's 2015 fall camp and one returning senior starter is likely done for the season, as Butch Jones confirms the injury suffered in practice by offensive guard Marcus Jackson.

"Yeah with Marcus, there's no time table set," Jones said after Tuesday's practice. "It could be the season, it could be eight months, it could be nine months. It's really based on how his surgery comes, and how his body performs."

With Jackson out for the foreseeable future, one player has decided to step up and replace Jackson, not only on the field but by honoring the senior by taking over his jersey number.
