Star receiver Cedric Tillman reportedly had surgery following the Akron game a couple of weeks ago, according to ESPN’s Chris Low. Tillman underwent the “tightrope” procedure on his ankle, hoping to cut down his rehab time.

Tua Tagovailoa had the same procedure while he was at Alabama, returning 28 days later.

Bye week comes at a good time for u2066@Vol_Footballu2069. This surgery at least gives Tillman a chance to get back for the LSU-Alabama swing. Rehab next week will be key. https://t.co/dKBlh8RYGu
