Star Tennessee lineman Trey Smith may not be able to participate, but that hasn’t stopped him from being out there on the practice field with his teammates this spring. The former No. 1 overall recruit can’t participate in drills, but he’s still been out there in a jersey and a helmet.

Smith is fighting to return to action for a second time, dealing with a blood clot issue. The same problem forced Smith to miss all of last spring. He ended up being eased into things in the fall, before the issue came back midseason.
