Just a week after a career day against Auburn, Tennessee quarterback Jarrett Guarantano was forced to leave the game against Alabama. Guarantano has proven to be tough so far in his time in Knoxville, but he took one too many shots against an aggressive Alabama defense on Saturday.
Keller Chryst came on in relief and Guarantano did not return. He could be seen on the sidelines in street clothes during the second half.
However, according to Austin Price of VolQuest, the injury isn’t anything too serious. It’s bruised ribs for Guarantano, but nothing is broken.
