The college football season is underway, and unfortunately the injury bug has arrived for Tennessee. Veteran linebacker Keenan Pili suffered an upper body injury in the Volunteers’ win against Virginia on Saturday, Josh Heupel confirmed on Wednesday on the SEC teleconference.
Pili made his Tennessee debut on Saturday afternoon after transferring in from BYU. Heupel says he’ll be out at least a couple of weeks.
“We weren’t sure early in the week, the severity of the injury,” Heupel said on Wednesday. “He will not be available this week. He’ll miss a couple of weeks here.
