KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Tennessee defensive tackle Danny O'Brien has been suspended for what Volunteers coach Butch Jones described as a violation of team rules and policies.

Jones said Wednesday that O'Brien would miss Saturday's game with No. 19 Oklahoma (1-0) and no timetable is set for the junior's return. Jones didn't specify the nature of O'Brien's violation.

''I don't want to sit here and tell you it's one game,'' Jones said. ''I don't want to sit here and tell you it's six games.
