As difficult as it has been to dampen all the excitement that surrounds this spring on Rocky Top, some disappointing news provided a lowlight in the second full week of Tennessee football practice.
After a week off for spring break, the Volunteers were back on the field—mostly in full pads—this week, and most of it was spent without rising senior leader and most valuable defensive player Jalen Reeves-Maybin.
The outside linebacker and tackling machine has a shoulder injury that will keep him out the rest of the spring and into the summer months, according to coach Butch Jones (via Rocky Top Insider's Daniel Lewis).
